Dear Amy: During the height of the pandemic last year, each of my (divorced) parents died suddenly, two months apart. If there is a job you believe your friend might be well-suited for – for instance, driving boxes to the donation center – ask her. Pregnant women don’t always have the kind of traditional friendship support that would accommodate the sort of event you seem to prefer. You can help Eric get started by sending your questions to eric@askingeric.com. (You can email Amy Dickinson at askamy@amydickinson.com or send a letter to Ask Amy, P.O.
