  • Wondering about something

    I have a friend who experienced a terrible tragedy several years ago. Much more recently, an acquaintance (we knew each other in high school, but we didn't hang out) has suffered the same tragedy.

    Each is a woman. Each lost a son. As far as I know, drug overdose was the cause of death in both cases.

    Would I be completely out of line to suggest to either woman that she talk to the other? I'm no stranger to grief, but I don't have children. It might be therapeutic for both of them. Or it might blow up in my face - and I can handle it, but they shouldn't have to.

    What are your thoughts?

    Here's the big potential problem I see with this: if you ask Person A and they say "Yes, I'd really like to talk to this person" and then you go to Person B and they say, "No, I don't want to have to re-live all that" ... then what?

    As kind as your intentions are, it could end pretty awkwardly if you have to go back to Person A and withdraw your suggestion.
