Default Very recently widowed friend

I am usually more of a lurker on this site, but this past Christmas a very dear friend of mine lost her husband very suddenly and I am sure there are many women who have faced this and have some good suggestions to get her through it. She is not a church goer so suggestions for religious help will not work for her.

He died instantly two days before Christmas while they were visiting family. She is returning to her home in TV this coming week and I would really appreciate some input from ladies who have been through this dreadful experience and come out the other end.

Clubs for widows? She is a recently retired nurse from a prestigious Boston hospital - maybe volunteer at TV hospital? Women's groups. What to do at night when she has to be alone in the house.

Any and all suggestions would be extremely helpful and much appreciated.
