Hi all,
I had been seeing someone for a number of fun dates, we started to discuss intimacy and what not but then an immediate family member passed away suddenly and it was extremely tragic. They let me know about this loss and apologized for not being in touch more. I expressed my deep condolences to them about this loss. I haven't really heard much from them since this happened a few weeks ago, but have followed up to check in quickly and received a few updates. I want to be there for them and offer friendship/support, but I don't want to overstep or make them feel pressured to date me or to be bugging them with check in messages. That being said they have not indicated to me they want to hang out again.
I was thinking of reaching out and asking if they wanted to join me for a walk outside as I know they enjoy this. I thought it would be a nice distraction as sometimes grief feels isolating so maybe offering some companionship would be good. Would that seem weird? Would you feel uncomfortable with this if you were grieving? Should I just give them space and let them reach out if they want to? I've never experienced this side of it before so I'm really at a loss as to what to do.
Thank you for any support!
