Just let her know that you're thinking of her and that she is in your prayers. That's all. Right after a death people just want sympathy, not much else. Another thing to keep in mind is to remember her child in the future. Often other people 'move on' after a while, but those who are closest to a loss don't and sometimes feel like people stop mentioning it after a while. Send her a note or flowers at Christmas, or at Easter next year, or just because. Especially remember to send her something next year. Don't be afraid to say "I don't know what to say but I feel sad"; that's better right now than saying anything more.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents based on past experience :) <br /><br />And I love Stegner, especially Crossing to Safety. His book Big Rock Candy Mountain is another favorite of mine.FoxyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950095008611661757noreply@blogger.com
