How to help my friend/honor her son

A dear friend of mine lost her 16 year old son 11 months ago (suffocation in his sleep due to seizure disorder). His birthday is approaching at the end of this month and shortly after the anniversary of his death. I want so much to help her through what must be such a hard time right now. I would also like to do something to honor him, but I am at a loss. Any ideas welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.

You are so thoughtful to think of your friend. Bringing his favorite foods to share with your friend, so that you are honoring him and helping her at the same time is one idea that comes to mind. Alot of times around the anniversery date or other holidays, grief can be very overwhelming again and having someone cook for you can be so helpful. Also, a simple card and a plant or tree in his memory is another idea. You have a big heart:hearbeat and your friend will really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Warmly~

Thanks so much for the thoughts. Food of course is a wonderful idea that I didn't think of. Nurture the body to heal the heart and mind.
