What a sad situation. So glad you are there to help, Di. I believe sharing good memories and acknowledging the loss and their feelings is good. They need to know it's ok to let it out and cry.

Reading some encouraging Scripture helps, if they allow you to.

Are there any others that would volunteer some time with this family?

Let them know you're there for them. Even when all you do is share some quiet time, the company is good! They might need help getting some errands done too.

God bless you for your efforts to help this family.
