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?
