She probably won't be in a work for a while, but when she comes back I have no idea how to talk to her? Cause she'll know that we know about her dad (it's in the paper), so do we mention her dad? Do we avoid it? Do we talk normally to her? Ahhh. That's if she does come back.
I agree with the others, you might just say to her how sorry you are to learn of her loss. Sending her a card is also a good thing if you think this might be easier for you or if she doesn't come back. I am sure she will appreciate some kind words at this awful time for her, whether they be verbal or in writing.
