Just found out that a neighbour's husband has just died. Not unexpected, but she's in that shellshocked grief stage. I called her and we chatted for a bit. About love and loss and being gentle with yourself and how you can't think straight. I think it helped her to be able to talk to someone other than her grown-up children and I've known them both for almost 40 years.
And then I got off the phone and howled.
