her mother died 2 weeks ago.

I told her I’m sorry but after thinking about what to say I couldn’t come with anything better than repeating sorry again. She then told me and another coworker how she died.

I want to show her that I care but I don’t want her mother’s death to become the elephant in the room each time we talk.

This is not romantic in any way.

    People already said what I was going to say, so I’ll add something new.

    Set a reminder for Mother’s Day. It will be here in a couple months and she will have to remember the pain a bit. The ‘first blank’ without her Mom will be happening a lot this year. Those are the time to let her know you are available if needed.
