Recently there was an accidental explosion at a nearby laundramat and one of the victims was my ex-girlfriend. I want to help but realize that there is nothing I can do.I want to see her but she has a new boyfriend and I don't want her to feel awkward or make them feel I'm disturbing their relationship.

" Go visit her. When I was in the hospital, I looked forward to visitors. I had some ex boyfriends visit but all that matters during a hard time is the "friend" part. "

" I agree, go visit her. It might seem ackward, but she needs to know she has friends. She is going to have to grieve these injuries and she will need all the support she can get. Many people back away from serious injury or illness. I think it would be great if you let her know you are a friend. "
