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.
You could put together a dish of some kind that she can just toss in the oven to cook. People often neglect to eat when mourning because they have a lot going on.
Easy ones are lasagna or baked potatoes or casseroles.
Just pre-made, ready to throw in the oven.
