Give her a call or send her a card just to tell her you've been thinking about her a lot and miss spending time and talking to her! Tell her about what's going on in your life right now and ask how she's doing. Then tell her you want to get together with her very soon and spend the day together! Don't bring up things about her mom....she will probably do this, though...just listen.....if you were very close friends...and nothing came in between the relationship except time and distance, then the comfort level will come back....kinda like riding a bike. Don't let so much time pass.....we don't always know what to say when a tragedy strikes...the great thing is that sometimes we don't have to say anything...just being there and being a friend is what they need! She has sooo much family that is comforting her on her loss and giving her advice on moving forward and dealing with grief...your job is to be her FRIEND!

"WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS"
Remeber, we love our moms and without them our world is a cesspool of mixed emotions. We need someone gentle and understanding.
Go for the gusto and contact your friend, give this individual a grandious hug and let them cry on your shoulder for as long as they deem fit. Usually, the individual is already lost and needs to find common ground so that they can bounce back and know that life goes on.

If she was your friend, why haven't you talked to her in all this time? Or do you mean you didn't talk about her mother's death? It's not necessary to discuss that but talk to her just like you'd talk to anyone else. Say, "Hey, I've missed you. Wanna go hang out at my house for awhile?"

Give her a call and say you just wanted to check and see how she's been doing and go from there. She should appreciate that.

Just call her up and tell her that you were thinking of her and wondering if she would like to get together sometimes, and don't bring up her mothers passing unless she brings it up. good luck.

Very slowly and do not even bring up her Mom's passing right away
