Death of grandmother

I'm supposed to be going to stay with my boyfriend next week and he has just told me that his grandmother died last night. His mum said i am still welcome to come but not to expect her to be approachable or happy at all, I still wanna go cos i'm dying to see my boyfriend but i'm really worried i won't know what to say or how to act around his mum. How should i behave or should i just avoid her and stay out of her way?

Tricky, how does your boyfriend feel about it?

Go with flowers for her mum, give her the flowers and tell her you were sorry to hear about her loss. That way you're showing that you're not just going to see the boyfriend without any regard for the family's current grievance.

Good Advice.

Purely my opinion about what I'd do in this situation...:

I wouldn't go personally, the death of my granny was the hardest thing that ever happened to my mother and having a house guest wouldn't have helped the situation at all. She's probably being polite by saying you're still welcome, but I'd respect the family at such a difficult time and give them space to grieve.

She'll probably need her son more than you do right now, and there's no harm in rescheduling is there? And I'd still send the flowers, it'd show you care.

Act Natural, strong.
Share you love and grief.

And bring the flowers, normally its better to wear black. Maybe a hat? And get a flower basket hamper instead, they are not expensive and the wood is grand. Did you know this woman?

Share your love to your boyfriend, **** that deep. :cheers:
