Do I step back and let them handle this as a family?

A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have recently started seeing a guy who has 3 kids. I have not met the kids yet as its still only new. He called me the other night as 1 of his kids had died suddenly and unexpectedly that morning. I feel so bad for him and told him im here if he needs to talk or anything. But I thought maybe best for him if I gave him some space and let him contact me if and when he feels ready. Can you give me some advice as to what to do and what I should say to him...I feel I should just give him some space at this horrible time. He is spending time with his other kids and his ex wife, whom he gets along with well still. So thought its probley best to let them work through as a family.
