Thank you so much for your thoughtful lesson as usual ! It is right on time ! May I ask what kind of comforting gifts in the USA culture we may bring to those who experience loss ? Thanks for your advice ?

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you for the question. It's quite common to bring a meal to someone who is grieving. It helps to relieve the stress of having to do daily things like grocery shopping or cooking meals.
