Sometimes just saying ‘hello’ can be a big help….

This shouldn’t be classed as ‘a social contribution’, but in these difficult days, when out walking with my wife we passed an exhausted looking young mother (with pushchair). Rather than walking by, we stopped to talk with her about the difficulties of surviving on little sleep & the feeling of isolation that having a disturbed baby can bring. In a small way, I think that this helped. I hope so. [Ed: Having a daughter in that position I can assure you that it will have been a real social contribution on your part]
