Just letting her know that you are thinking about her can be helpful. See if you can ask somebody who is close to her for ideas of how you might help. In her own time and way, she will start to venture forth more. She'll let you know, when you ask, whether or not she wants to see you and do anything. And, offer specific assistance: "I'm going to the shops. Can I get anything for you?" "Would you like to have lunch with me next Tuesday?" Don't give up. Drop her a note periodically, or even an e-mail, to let her know you're thinking of her.
It’s been a few weeks since my neighbour whom I am friendly with lost her husband. She’s been fairly reclusive. What can I do to help her without being too intrusive ?
