[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this question, but I really would appreciate your collective advice. One of the members of my book group has just lost her husband to terminal illness. While we are not close - the book group is more business-like than clubby - we do see each other sometimes at school and social events and I can't help but find my thoughts turning to her and the desperate situation she now finds herself in - she has three young children. I feel I can put words of sympathy into a card for her, but I worry that when I do meet her I'll say something banal or inappropriate. I do want to convey sincere sympathy, but am not sure how best to offer that. At the risk of being intrusive, can anyone out there offer advice on the best things to say face to face to someone newly widowed? I guess I have been sheltered from this whole bereavement process so far - this is the first incidence of someone in my near peer group losing a partner.[/quote]
