What do I say?

[pnhuffman]

I am to go to a CF Parents Advisory Meeting tonight and just got an email from one of the ladies that comes to the meetings. She had stated that she would not be coming to any meetings due to her step-daughter with cf passed away yesterday due to complications from double pneumonia.

I don't know if she will attend any more meetings for sure or not. But what do you say at a moment like this? i don't know how old the girl was or anything. We just started these meetings this year. I am assuming she is at least a teenager if not older.

I would email her back and let her know you are sorry for her loss, and ask if she would like for you to pass on the information to the other people at the meeting.

That's of course a very short version, but just the two main points of discussion...along with an offer for any other assistance that you might be able to provide -- you will get a better feeling for what else might be appropriate if you get a reply to that email.

If you have an address you could send a Sympathy card. If you only have an email, I would respond that you are very sorry for her loss and that you didn't have the chance to get to know her. If she responds to that you might have more of an opening to talk, but for right now I would start with that. It's too bad you don't know the girl's age or if she lived with this woman, as that would help in knowing what to say, also.

I appreciated it when people told me a simple I'm sorry. It hurt the most when people ignored it.
Don't worry about saying something profound and don't say anything about "imagining how you feel". A simple I'm sorry and I'm thinking of you goes a long way.
