My best friend from school was tragically widowed late last year. She has no kids. She and her DH lived for each other. We live v far apart so maintain a phone relationship. She doesn't call me, I always call her but she's always pleased to hear from me and talks for hours. However, within ten minutes we are talking about DH and issues around his death etc. I wanted advice from other widows - am I right to kind of encourage this or do you think I should gently steer the conversation in other directions??? I often feel I am doing more harm than good.
