Best friend’s husband passed
My best friend’s husband died yesterday and I am searching for advice on how to best support her. When she called me to tell me yesterday, she told me she needs time to process and to not go over there. Today, I checked in and she was responsive to me and told me how she was feeling, but did not respond to the messages specifically about me offering to bring her lunch or to swing by to give her a hug as I told her I didn’t want to overwhelm her and she responded to other parts of the message but not that. We’ve been friends for over 20 years so I am sad I can’t read between the lines to tell if it was avoidance so I wouldn’t come over or acceptance so I would go over. I want her to know Im there for her and to know if she wants to be alone because she is not accepting anyone’s offers and is trying to be strong or if she truly doesn’t want to be around people at this time. Any advice on how to approach or support or navigate? He wasn’t even 40 and it was so sudden and I’m just lost on how I can help her process it all.
