Is it already TOO LATE to send my condolences?

Hello atha! If you want to make amends to her, well then approach her in a chance where you think it is the right time and the right place... And you have to 'feel' her mood of course! If she's not in the mood, don't approach her... We have to be humble... Do you think you could live everyday in your life with a hard heart and you see her everyday in your department... If in case you after talk to her or send your condolences and she still keeps on ignoring you...then its not your problem anymore....

To me its never to late. However, if you are both on bad terms it depends on how bad it is. If its really bad I wouldn't bother but if it luke warm you can still give her a card expressing your condolences. It may make you both get on better terms.

In my opinion this is a good opportunity to show your appreciation for this lady colleague and improve upon the strained relationship. You need not say something complicated, just say or write words from your heart expressing your sincere condolences. Even if it does not have immediate result, you'd have taken the first step to improve the relationship with her, it is already a victory on your part. Even though it is easy to pretend that nothing ever happened when things are going smoothly, the environment will never change for the better, the strained relationship will still remain as it is. Most importantly it is to build a strong inner self so that nothing adverse happening in our environment will affect us, and instead we have the wisdom to find solutions to overcome it. As long as our mindset changes, everything can change for the better as well.

Hello atha13, You are writing this for advice because you still care about her, right? So why not telling her.Writing to her or just sending emails will be a good idea. Hope you can do it well, it will never be too late.

you can still send your condolences anytime what is important is you'd able to express your feelings, you'd able to symphatize. It's a matter how early you have greeted what matter is your feelings, your true feelings for the person you want them to feel it. just be yourself..and all things be done good.

I'm like you sometimes. I sort of ignore certain things because I don't know how to approach them. Then I'll eventually speak up and it's awkward but I always feel better having said something. It's never too late to share your condolences. You can even say "hey I didn't know how to say this before but..." Just letting her know you did think about it, do think about it. When I lost my grandfather, hearing "I'm sorry for your loss" didn't fix my broken heart but it warmed it to know people were thinking of me in my time of need. It'll make her feel good to know that you didn't ignore the situation forever. Send your condolences, it'll make you feel better. And even if she weren't to accept at least then you know you tried :)

For me, I don't think that saying or extending your condolences is never too late. it still shows that you care for the loss of the family and that is also one way of sympathizing. Go ahead and approach the person, trust me it's never too late. Good day!
