[quote=Anonymous]I think people are dumping on OP unnecessarily, but I do think it might have been better to just drop the gift and card at the friend's home rather than text her. Of course, she could have turned that against you, as well, and been angry you didn't try and see her. As many people have said, she was grieving and lashed out, but I don't think it was warranted. It's impossible to know how everyone responds to grief, and I think it's wrong to assume that friends know exactly what we want or need. There isn't [i]one[/i] right way to support a friend who is grieving. OP, I +1 the ideas to give space. Reaching out on the anniversary of her mother's death, Mother's Day, or on her mom's birthday would be very thoughtful. I was so appreciative when friends did this after my mom died. [/quote]
