]]> Grief is hard not only for us but also for those around us. I often get asked what people should do for someone who has lost a family member.

Time and a hug are always great gifts but do you know what I appreciated most? Shopping!

My best friends from childhood came round with a weekly shop, she looked at me and said “I bet it is the last thing on your mind and you need to stay healthy”

Wow, do you know it was wonderful as I couldn’t face shopping – all those people, all those small decisions to make and of course starting to buy for one.

So as daft as it sounds shopping was a wonderful thoughtful gesture for me – what about you?
