My father in law passed away a week ago today. On Wednesday we had a viewing and funeral. He was a well liked man in the community and I'd guess there were better than 200 people come to the viewing and or funeral. I can't tell you how many times someone said to my wife or me "If there is anything I can do to help, just call" I think most of them would come if called, but I'm fairly sure most don't expect a call.
In similar circumstances I have said the same thing, not really expecting to be asked to do anything, but I would if asked.
My question for you fine folks is, what are things that I (we) can do for others who may be hurting or in need, but are too proud/afraid/stubborn/… to ask?
