Friend's first anniversary without her husband
My friend recently lost her husband in an accident. Their wedding anniversary is coming up in a month. Do I say anything? Should I offer to come up and spend time with her that day? I can imagine this will be difficult for her, but I don't want to make her more upset by reminding her that their anniversary is quickly approaching. What do you think? 
Re: Friend's first anniversary without her husband
That's terrible, I'm so sorry for your friend's loss.
I think your offer of spending the day with her is a nice one. She may or may not take you up on it, but my preference would be to have additional support on a tough day.
I would let your friend know that you are leaving that day open for her in case she wants to do anything. This would leave it open to her, you could ask her again as the day gets closer.
I'm so sorry for her loss.
As some pps have said, I'm pretty sure you won't be reminding her of anything. She's fully aware of the date. I'd definitely call her up and ask her what you can do for her. Let her know that whatever she needs, whether it's company or just to be left alone but know she's thought of, you're there for her.
I think it would be nice to acknowledge her and ask what she would like to do on that day....lunch together or dinner or a movie. Maybe she wants to sit quietly at home and talk about her husband. It doesn't hurt to ask her what she might like to do, and take the lead from there....
You are a good friend for thinking of her.
totally agree. You are a thoughtful friend!
