Edit- I can’t edit the title for some reason, but I meant to write “Both her dad and her brother”

Basically what the title says. My best friend of over 10 years’ mom just passed away this morning after a battle with cancer. In the last few years she also lost her father as well as her older step brother. Her mother was the only immediate family she had left.

I want to do something more for her than just ‘be there for her’. This type of loss is extremely significant. She is only 34 years old and has no immediate family left. that has to be insane on your mental health. I just don’t want her to spiral/end up in a bad situation. I did take off of work today to be with her and her family, but I feel like there’s more I can / should be doing to support her. Any ideas welcome. Thank you.

So for context I work for a dental insurance company taking calls from dental offices and members. A lot of times recently I have been getting calls from providers that as soon as I say my opening spiel they ask if they can “put me on hold for a second” like??? and then IM on hold for 3-5 minutes while there’s other people in the queue waiting? and i have no idea how long they are going to have me on hold?? Idk i would never put someone that I called on hold like that right at the beginning of the call. Seems rude to me. I usually disconnect those calls after a couple minutes..

I am watching the episode where Vic plays poker with George and Angie says they should “play for compliments”. When she says stuff like that I get so much secondhand embarrassment for George/the kids. lol.
