Offering to Help

Here is my two cents from being in three situations where people are not healthy and may need help. Don't offer to help. Don't say "just let meknow if you need anything". That does nothing and means nothing. I think the only thing it does is make you feel good about yourself because -hey, at least you offered. The person , for the most part, is not going to call you up and ask you to come over and lcean their bathroom, or make them lunch, or wash their laundry. You need to call them tell them you will be over and have a list of things they need done ready. THen you go over and you do what they need. If you don't do this, then you didn't really want to help in the first place. It was just an empty remark made to make yourself fell better.
