Just Handle It, Side B: For the Friend Who Shows Up

This side is written for you, the one who loves them and has no idea what to say.

Thirteen years of funerals, casseroles, and 2am phone calls taught me one thing. People don't want a card. They want someone to just handle it.

What's inside: the first text to send, word for word, the moment you find out. The just handle it checklist, tasks to take over without being asked. What not to say, and what to say instead, for every hard moment. The three week check-in, for when everyone else disappears and you do not. The one year message, because they are counting the days and someone should remember. And how to listen without fixing, since presence is the actual skill here.

A friend once told me, "You're so good at making sure we never feel alone." This is how.
