you sounds like good friend.loosing a child must be the hardest thing that can happen to a person and so many time, friends tend to stay away because they don't know what to say or do. you are wise to understand you just stay near and do whatever she seems to need, even if it is listening or just sitting and being in the room with her.
i can tell you that being alone for long periods of time gives too much time for your mind to wander and get onto morbid subject or to start feeling sorry for yourself. just having someone in the house with you when you are sleeping can be reassuring to most people.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
