How to Help a Family with a Loved One in the Hospital

This morning, I found out a friend was in the hospital. I talked to her family and asked if I could do anything for them. Of course they said, "no." Beh! Me = feeling helpless.

I've always heard: don't ask what you can do - just do it. Okay, well, I'm not going to go break into their house and play with their dog or come stalk them at the hospital! Then I remembered when my husband's grandma was in the hospital, someone brought in a snack basket and it was so awesome in a crappy situation. And really, it can be for new parents or someone who is home-bound too.
