How to approach W about OM

[OfficerInNeed]

Things just a little more difficult. My W called me a short while ago that her mother called her. Her mother said they found the remains of my W cousin who was missing for a couple months.

I tried to console her but she rejected my attempt to I backed off. She seemed to get more upset with me.

I think this makes her more vulnerable and if she does not turn to me for support she will to someone else. Also it makes her more sympathetic and more people at work may be prone to give her attention...
