You are in such a sensitive time, dear Michelle. You don't have to do or be anything but what feels right to you. If your neighbor has offered to help out, if you feel comfortable with that neighbor, all you need to do is say yes. If you call and start to cry, or don't know what to say, I have a feeling your neighbor will understand and will use his/her judgement on how to be there for you. Whatever happens, it's ok.

Remember how you are loved!
