A good friend was widowed this week. I know her fairly well and consider her a friend. Our sons are also good friends. Her husband (who I didn't know very well) has died unexpectedly. She has a very close family nearby and a good network of friends, ones who are closer to her than me, so I think help with practicalities of day to day life etc is probably well covered.
I have left a message of condolence and support offering help with whatever she might need. I cannot stop thinking about the poor lady and cannot for a moment imagine how she must feel, so am struggling to think of what I might be able to do for her to show support and/or help out. I don't want to interfere, but wondered what else I might be able to do for her and her boys? Or should I leave it for now and get in touch post-funeral maybe offering to take her son out for the afternoon/come over/whatever? Or is that not suitable??
TIA
