her mother died 2 weeks ago.
I told her I’m sorry but after thinking about what to say I couldn’t come with anything better than repeating sorry again. She then told me and another coworker how she died.
I want to show her that I care but I don’t want her mother’s death to become the elephant in the room each time we talk.
This is not romantic in any way.
Have you considered that you’ve already done all you can do and that you’re borderline making it about you. I’d leave it be.
This is a genuinely difficult situation to deal with, nothing wrong with asking for advice.
