Wrist comfort question?

Hi wonderful fitters of the internet. I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I am not sure where else to ask. My wife has gotten into cycling with me. For her birthday a few years ago I took her to a lbs and let her pick out a bike. She rode one for fun as a kid and around campus in college but nothing serious on trails or roads. I tried to get her on a gravel bike or a maybe a hardtail mountain bike but she really wanted a step through cruiser type. We rode a decent amount on local roads that year but she has not ridden much since. We were talking about bikes the other day and it turns out she has been secretly riding my surly straggler and loves it💜. We are the same height so that works. My question (finally) is this; She has wrist pain whenever she rides, I was wondering if you all had any ideas for something that might help? Right now my bike has flat bars and I could change them out but she says she thinks she prefers flat bars.
I am not sure if these are still a thing but the handlebar ends that all mountain bike from the late 90’s and early 00’s the bull horn ones. Are they still a thing and could that help? Or am I looking at changing out the bars completely and to what?
When she works on her computer she has a vertical ergonomic anti fatigue mouse that keeps her wrist pain free and that is what made me wonder could changing her grip help?
Thanks in advance. I am happy to answer any questions.

Hi, I apologize in advance if this is not an appropriate place for this post. If it does happen to be the right place any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
My Dad passed about 6 months ago. He did not have life insurance and had been sick before his death so he had no money or savings account. I payed for his cremation by putting it on my credit card. I do not have money to add a funeral to my credit card.
I got a venue and we will be having a celebration of life. My dad was a good guy and well known and respected member of the community and has a large extended family so we are expecting at least 50 people. My family was/is not religious so there will be no sort of clergy. What do I do to help shape this into something? I don’t want it to be just people talking about how great he was for 20 min and then calling it a day. Any ideas for what I can do for it? Some people have a send off speech so that will happen but what else can we do? He was a funny social guy and I want this to truly be a social gathering and celebration of him.

Sorry there is so much.
