sometimes the more difficult time (or equally difficult time) is when a bit of time has passed following a death. Some people comment that they received lots of support during the process and shortly thereafter. But, then people just go on with life and the family members are left alone to grieve. You could do something now. But maybe also make sure you stay in close contact on a regular basis following so that he has someone if/when he is needing help. Sorry about this. This really is depressing.
ah ha..........I got it wrong. Should you send the mom something........does she know that you had a baby? Maybe it would be uplifting for her if you sent her a note and a cute picture of Grant. Maybe a good distraction for her.
Just read your OP. I would send her something for Mothers Day, some flowers or something. One thing I gathered from the OP is also send you hubbys BFF a card and let him know that he is like family to y'all and y'all will always be there for him. He is going to need you a few months after she passes. That is the hardest times, when the flowers, food and well wishes stop coming.

Flowers are always nice. You could say they are for Mother's Day if you don't want it to look morbid.
