so coworker that had the very preemie babie that passed away right after thanksgiving is back at work, she is on my floor and i really haven't seen her, but i was bound to run into her at some point- we share common areas- copier, kitchen and bathroom.
doesn't it figure that it would happen as a different coworker is asking me all kinds of questions about how M did at x-mas and i'm going on and on about it before realise she is behind me at the copier (other coworker and i were slowly waking back to our side of the building so my back was to her)
i feel awful for her, but i just don't know what to say to her. i'm sure she's heard every 'i'm sorry' imaginable and i personally would feel every 'i'm sorry' or other platitude would be a knife in my heart after a loss like that. i did leave her a message on FB after her daugher passed, do i need to say something in person?

I would do this. Nothing you say could really make it worse, you know? I'm sure she thinks about the baby all the time, so it's not like you are reminding her. And ignoring the issue probably just makes it more akward and her feeling alone.
i wandered over to her cube at the end of the day, her cube is on the side of the building that i park and i use the windows on that side to remote start my traverse, but she had already left.
i do want to say something but i didn't want to seek her out intentionally, i'll try again tomorrow. i did see the other coworker i had been talking to and she said that she is really upbeat and already planning to try again as soon as possible
slight silver lining- at least i wasn't ranting about how bad my boy is while she was standing there that would have been worse
