my uncle tragically passed away in a car accident , leaving behind his wife and son . i desperately wanted to help them in their time of need , even if it was simply cleaning the house . they are the sweetest family . that is really good and will be helpful . i lost my wife to cancer years ago and people helping was great . that 's awful . life comes with so many challenges . they were the family that helped everyone around them , no matter what they needed . it felt good to be able to give back to them . i would encourage you to help as much as possible . i do the same now since i know what loss feels like . that is wonderful that you have been able to turn a tragedy into an opportunity to empathize with others facing the same difficulties . yes , the support and love from others that we received was incredible so i always try to help as much as i can . even the smallest gestures were meaningful . not many people reciprocate the efforts of others and i commend you for considering your own suffering and using it to better others .
