> Is "church support" still a thing? It's not here in Europe. Perhaps in rural USA?
Not just rural or even conservative USA: my mom lives in a city that would be in the top 5 of everyone’s “Name the most liberal city in America” list.
She had major surgery right before Covid and her church had people bringing her flowers and keeping her company nearly every day while she was an inpatient - and then had a coordinated rotating list of church members bringing home cooked dinners and visiting her every day for several weeks while she recuperated at home.
I expect this sort of thing will largely die with the Boomers and we’ll join our Euro-brethren in the bubbling soup of cynicism and lowered expectations
