My stbx sent me an email yesterday letting me know her grandmother passed away that morning. I'm not quite sure what the best way is to handle it. When I first met my wife in 2002, her grandmother had a moderate onset of Alzheimer's, which had grown progressively worse. During the last few years, my wife would spend every Sunday and most Saturdays caring for her--cleaning and changing her, preparing her meals, putting her to bed, etc. Most times, I would go with her.
She told me I did not have to do anything, but I still feel something should be done. I did reply to her email to give my condolences and thank her for letting me know. Should I do more, such as flowers or a fruit basket? I will not be going to any of the services; as civil as we may be through emails and lawyers, we're not quite ready to meet face-to-face.
(Parenthetically, the timing of this sucks. I received the final copy of the separation agreement from her attorney the same day.)
