friendly reminder to check in on them if you have the capacity and a good relationship with them. i've been calling my grandma every other week since my grandpa passed and she's just happy to talk to someone and that someone thinks about her. i live far from her and i can't always visit but i'm just hoping these phone calls become an 'us' thing for her.
They are lonely and they can’t stand it, just like you or I might be some day. Go check in on them, help them figure out email, ask them about objects in their home, listen to their life story for a little while. its fun !
