How to Treat a Friend who has Suffered a Loss

I have honestly thought about posting some of these same things.

I am asked a lot on "what to do" when there are other tragedies or "hard times" around me.  I am just as dumb as I was before I lost Ethan.  I can't think.  I just do what I am feeling. I came across these ideas on another blog and thought I should share them.

The title of these links are How to Treat a Friend who has Suffered a Loss.  This lady wrote it in two parts. I love her ideas and will probably refer back to them myself.
