I would definitely send flowers but also, play dates are probably a good idea. I can’t imagine grieving the loss of my husband /partner and trying to pretend to be okay for my child. It can’t be easy.
This was me 2 years ago when my son was 6. I needed someone to just take over stuff for me. We got a ton of food, arranging a cleaning service and having playdates or taking her daughter out would probably be helpful. Honestly not much is going to ease her pain, but you can help things from not feeling completely overwhelming by doing things like cleaning, cooking, child care, offering to hang out or help make iPhone calls to deal with logistical stuff. I’m so sorry for the family and it’s so thoughtful of you to want to help
