Looking for a way to bring some comfort to my SIL.

[MnMtm]

My SIL's little brother took his own life yesterday. He had been struggling with drug addiction for several years now, and apparently owed some people a lot of money that he had borrowed to feed his addiction. I feel so lost as to what to do to comfort her. I was thinking of maybe getting her a gift with a picture of her brother and some sort of poem about loss, but I can't seem to find a poem that fits. I was also thinking of using a picture she has of her brother holding her little girl, and having a poem with that. Her brother had been doing so well fo a a little while there before relapsing into the drugs, and I know she's especially sad that her dd will not be able to grow up with the loving uncle that he was when he wasn't using. Maybe just a picture without a poem would be better.

Any suggestions from those who've been through similar circumstances? What would've been comforting for you?

My boyfriend (at that time) died of a heroin overdose, and then 5 years later my best friend died of a variety of causes, but drug related. Honestly, what I needed was just to know people cared and were there for me. Every person and every loss is different, but I think the framed picture could either be very nice, or could be upsetting to her. Maybe give it to her and tell her if she doesn't want to look at it she can get rid of it or put it away for now, idk. Sorry I don't have anything better to offer.

As for a poem, maybe a chapter from Khalil Gibran's The Prophet?
