If you care abought someone they mean everything to you. You wouldn't want to be without them, and you don't like being away from them.

Ask if there is anything you can do for them. Usually, there is. At least let them know you're there. \n\n.

Well yes, of course. They might need a little comfort in their lives, and perhaps you could give it to them. Now, if you're planning on using them for 'getting some' or something like that, then no. Best of luck!

Yes, I think it is normal for you to care for a friend. Friends are there to comfort one another. That's what friends are for.

No I do not think you should have to pay her back for doing something that neither you nor your poor wife could afford to do.I mean she did offer the money and never asked that you to pay her back.So all I would do if I were you, would be to give her a great big hug and a thank you for the needed help in such a tragic event.May God bless you all and releive the pain in your hearts.

Tell him: "I am really sorry four your loss (insert name here). Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your family in your time of need, or if you just need a friend right now." This is kind, and formal, yet personal, and shows you truly care for your friend, and feel for his loss.

Dear Obsessed:  What you said, is fine.  I think if I were going to do an offering prayer, I might say something like this:\n\n"Father, through your divine Holy Spirit Who exists in the souls of each and everyone of us, I offer these partnership monies for Him to use where He knows it is best needed.  Because the Holy Spirit exists within us and knows each of us as Himself, I ask Him to bring these funds to where it will be used for the most good and its highest use.  Holy Spirit, You know who and You know where. . .into your hands I place this offering.  Amen.\n\nBest regards, Lana

When my father died I was most touched by those individuals who told me they were sorry for my loss - and then told me a little story about how my father had touched their lives or told me about why they thought he was such a good man. I don't know if there is anything more comforting than to hear these anecdotal comments. They are so positive and fulfilling to hear. They also are thought that you can “take away” with you after the conversation is over. Even today, and it’s been almost 30 years, those are the conversations I remember and that were most meaningful to me at this time of great loss.\n\nIf you are unable to talk with the grieving person, sending your thoughts in a note would be just as appreciated.

What help do you need??

Life is long, you'll have time to eventually pay them back. Don't worry about it now. Wait until you land a new job, then you could take them out to dinner or whatever. Be patient.

Has anyone ever considered what taxes are used for?  (besides padding the politicians wallets?)  Where do you think that the money for disaster relief comes from, where do you think the money for housing and food programs comes from, where do you think the money to pay for our emergency services comes from?  We all have a part in paying for those things.  And for those people that complain about having to take care of those that aren't able to do so for themselves at any point in time in their life.  I pray that you never find yourself in such an unfortunate situation.  So many have gotten there by no fault of their own.  There are doctors and lawyers and successful business people that were at the top of their game, but unfortunate circumstances - illnesses, natural catastrophes, etc have left them with nothing and trying to start their lives over again.  Don't be so quick to judge - someday someone just may be passing judgment on you.

It really depends on if this a close friend or a family member. Your further generosity is entirely up to you. If you think you have given enough, then stop there. Just do what feels right for you.

I thank them everyday, I work beside them as a partner and friend.  \nI only wish we (Paramedics) were more appreciated for the life saving job that we do on a daily bases, when people are injured and sick.  When they look up at us and say "Am I gonna die?"  It's us that have that lasting memory on our mind.  Just remember, not all ambulance services are ran out of they Fire Department.  Thanks for listening

You need to honor the mate's request. You can however also discuss freely how hard this will be for the family to not have known. Even the dying have responsibilities - toward reconciliation.

It is possible, but you need to let them come to you. It seems like you are trying, if you're asking us if its possible to have a good relationship with them. Just let them know you'll always be there for them. And just be there for them in their time of need. If they talk back to you, let them have their time. Just don't push it, and one day they will see how much you've done for them..and hopefully come to you.

I disagree with one of your responders. I personally think you are writing this to vent...more or less. And I hate to bring reality into this light, but most people don't do things out of the 'goodness of their own hearts' most people do stuff for various reasons..self gratification, tax reasons, in order to receive scholarships......\n\nOkay, now that that's off my chest. I understand your frustration. And yes you have done quite a bit all you want is some gratitude. I expect the brother and wife are so used to handouts that they just assume everyone is willing. They look like the type everyone would feel empathy for so everyone breaks their back to help them. They are happy with scraping the bottle of the barrel you know.\n\nAnd I don't care what anyone says, when you buy a present for someone (I don't care what the occasion) you expect a bit of gratitude from the recipient. If that were not the case thank you cards wouldn't exist.

Someone once told that they never LOAN money, they give it, because if the person asks for it, they evidently don't have any money and they really need it.\n\nChalk it up as a lesson learned and understand that your blessings (money and all) do not come from people, but from God. Thank him for putting you in a position at the time to help someone and continue to do good. God will take up with this friend what she owes, because the bible speaks of debts! \n\nIt is a personal choice whether or not you continue the friendship, but it goes without saying that you should not give her or her family any more money. You live and you learn; people have ALOT going on in life and don't always do what they should or what is right. We all just have to trust that God will convict people and maybe one day, when you don't even expect it OR God will give you an unexpected financial blessing through the hands of someone else. Take it from someone who knows!
