It's unbearably sad and I need some advice as I'm unsure how best to act.
DH has a very close colleague whose DP's 18yo daughter has just died in a car crash. He is struggling to cope and has asked us to come round as a family to see them.
DH has never met the DP or either of her children (she also has a 16yo).
We have gently asked if they are sure they want us all to come (we have 19mo DS) and been assured yes.
I am not sure what to bring, how to act, what to say. I'm aware how pathetic that sounds, but I feel so deeply for this poor woman and what's happened, I just want to bring any shred of comfort I might be able to.
I also want to alleviate any pressure she might feel from our visit (DH is her DP's boss)
I suspect she will be knee-deep in flowers
Can anyone advise?
