I agree we with V3ra, don't wait . You will have reached out to her and who knows she may contact you. If she doesn't you have lost nothing but she will know you are thinking about her.

Send a card, and include a note with your current contact details ie email address, mobile phone number.

I too think sending a card at this point would be appropriate.

Just that send a card and leave it at that. She may contact you down the road but may not which you should respect.

A high school friend and I fell out about 10 years ago after a 35year friendship. I have just heard from another friend he husband has passed away yesterday after a prolonged battle with cancer.
I would like to send my condolences, the loss she is feeling will be difficult to bear.
I am in two minds as to whether to try and contact her now or should I wait for a few months to allow her time to grieve?
