A friend and work colleague of mine died suddenly a couple of months ago which was pretty awful.
My wife and his wife have been friends for years and after the "dust settled" from the funeral she took his wife under her wing and between us we have sorted out all her affairs from financial to housing and beyond.
The trouble is my friend did absoloutely everything for his wife, in the last 29 years she has never paid a bill, shopped for groceries, he did all the jobs in the house and she has been like a rabbit in the headlights since he died just sat waiting for someone to come and do everything for her, which, at the moment, is what my wife is doing.
Trouble is, the more my wife is doing, the more her friend is letting her do it and she really can't keep it up much longer. My wife daren't pull back too much in case it pushes her friend to do something stupid and she would never forgive herself, so anyone got any ideas what we can do with a 46 year old spoilt child with no other family or friends?
