A friend of mine died a week ago. :( I went to the cremation and gave my condolences to his family.

 

His wife said she thought, we would probably meet again to talk about everything. I've decided I should call her in a few weeks to visit her together with another friend. I'm not sure when to call, though. Calling to early wouldn't be good, she should have time to mourn with close family members. I must add that I was close to my friend, but we always did guy things together, so I only know his girfriend from the birthday parties and random occasions I bumped into both of them.

 

I've decided to call her in three weeks, but I'm still not sure if that isn't too early. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Um, he had a wife and a girlfriend? :confused:

 

Regardless, I'd call her (the wife) within a month, likely sooner rather than later. Merely mention you were thinking of her and ask if she feels like talking. Take it from there.

 

My condolences....
