[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, you have a good heart. My advice- she's on edge and trying to cope. Sympathy will break her down. Give her space and quietly NOTE THE DAY OF THE TRAGEDY. She will appreciate it in 2,3 years time. Then, when everyone has left and forgotten in a few months and she reaches out, then you can do everything and anything for her. Others will have moved on or are feeling strange dealing with her grief and will avoid her. You be there then. And send her flowers on the anniversary in the future. It feels bleak and hopeless to have that reminder each year when everyone is living life normally and you can't scream at the void "life is not normal today!" - show her in the future that no, life is not normal that day.
