A reader writes to Eric from a relative who never received a thank you after sending a Sympathy Box from Amazon when her husband died, expressing concern that she may not have received a formal thank you. The author suggests that we should extend our thoughts, condolences, and gifts with no expectation. This is a reminder that we need to extend grace to the grieving, not just to avoid expectations. The loss of a loved one, particularly a spouse, can be emotionally difficult and can take a significant amount of time to process, to grieve, and to heal. Eric's wife, Jane, recently found six pictures in the wallet of Jane and a friend of the opposite sex in their safe wallet, which she believes is normal for one to keep pictures of a close female friend in a wallet among other special family pictures.
