Supporting a relative

My cousin died unexpectedly last month. We were all shocked and devastated, and my auntie (understandably) especially so. She’s really shut down - doesn’t want to see anyone, talk to anyone on the phone (apart from my mum now and again), go to the doctor or any support groups. I’m close to her but not close enough for her to want to talk to me on the phone, and I’d like to try and offer some support, however little, in some other way. I’m just not sure what else to do apart from letting her know that I’m thinking of her though. Is there anything I might be able to do?
