On Thursday a friend is coming for lunch who was widowed not long ago. Her husband died after a fairly long painful illness (cancer.)
We haven't seen her since he died, and we were very fond of them both.
She's coming with her brother.
Obviously we'll be asking what's new since we last saw her, but I was wondering about whether to ask about her husband, how much to mention him etc. She's a very practical person and I've been told that she's coping well, but I don't want to re-open old wounds.
Any advice?
Water Pollution -“ A National Disgrace”? A case for renationalisation?
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
