Personally, I wouldn't try to contact her at all, by any means. However, if you should bump into each other in the supermarket or pass each other in the street a couple of minutes of the 'Hi, How you doing' sort of chat is fine.
An ex is an ex, and long may it remain so. They're exes for a very good reason - one or other of you didn't get on with the other. You're not likely to in the future either. There's no reason why you should 'be there for her' either. She's moved on and so should you. Today is the first day of the rest of your life - make the most of it!

 there are lots of situations like this and this seems a pretty simple one :) if your relationship didn't end on a bad note then i don't see why you can't be friends but i wouldn't go as far to say get back together, and if she has found someone that is nice for her then you should be happy for her and i'm sure you'll find the right person too. so if she wants to then, you should be friends. hope this has helped.
