all I wanted from my then H (now stbxH) when I heard the news about my dad, was him to come home, hug me and whisper to me, that we are going through this together.

I guess what I am trying to say is you are doing the right thing and you should tell her you are there for her. I hope your issue turns out to be nothing. Thinking of you K
