Should I take something? Send something?
A friend's wife and father were hit by a drunk driver Saturday night. Dad has lots of broken bones and will be in surgery shortly. Wife has severe head trauma but is responsive. These are not my best friends but I am SUPER close to his brother and SIL. The wife was my neighbor growing up and I went to high school/worked with him.
I know they have lots of family support but my parents and myself feel the need to do something. Should I offer to take all of the family some food or take something else? I don't want to send flowers just yet because wife does not have her own room. We have offered to watch their son and of course have them in our thoughts and prayers but I just really feel the need to do more.
Re: Should I take something? Send something?
I agree with everyone else and would take food. Make a pan of enchiladas or lasagna or both so they have meals for a couple of days.
This is an awful situation. I will have this family in my prayers.
I don't post much, but popped in today. I would either wait and take food when they get home or take a gift card to somewhere near the hospital to the hospital. That way they can use it when it is most convenient for them. I will keep them in my prayers!
How scary and awful to deal with.
I agree. Bringing them meals sounds like a great idea, but unless the food is intended for the rest of their familymembers, wait until they're been home for a week or two. I imagine they won't have much of an appetite in the immediate aftermath of surgery/brain trauma. They're going to need your support in the coming weeks of recovery, not just in the immediate aftermath.
Oh, the food is for all of the family who is staying at the hospital. It is not intended for the ones that were actually involved in the accident. There are 6 to 8 family memebers at the hospital at all times sitting with the two that were injured.
