Former colleague died suddenly over Christmas - contact her dh or leave well alone?

[Tiggerish]

A girl I worked with about 5 years ago died suddenly just before Christmas, 2 days after giving birth to their 3rd child. She was a fantastic person and great colleague. I wasn't in touch with her at all since our professional lives diverged, but feel that maybe I should send a card or something to her dh.

What do you think?

Tiggerish, that's so dreadful, especially that she went home after the birth and everything seemed fine. Did she become ill very suddenly then? I can't imagine how the family feel. The statement from the father is so brave.

It was so sad to read about the 2 ladies' deaths.

I would def send a card.

I agree with everyone else, send a card.

People tend to avoid you when you are bereaved and that's the opposite of what you need.
Even if you can't think of anything to say just say so and say that you're thinking of them.

It means so much!
