One of dh's best friends has died in an accident. His wife is pregnant with their first child.
A couple of months ago, I was getting rid of some baby equipment, including cot, and offered it to our friends. They said no, because she wanted to buy everything new. But now the situation has changed so drastically, I'm wondering if I should ask her again if she'd like us to pass on any baby equipment or clothes. But then I'm worried that might offend her or make it sound patronising, like she's being treated as a charity case IYSWIM - because she was so clear before in saying they don't want second hand stuff.
I don't know her very well, so it's hard to know what else I can do to help.
Horrible situation.
