It depends how well you know her. If it was a good friend I would ring her mum again and say, 'I want to come and give a hug. What do you think?' Then I would just turn up and have zero expectations. It could literally be a hug on the doorstep. So sorry for your friend.

I would go straight away. If she doesn't feel like answering the door, or sends you away, then that is her choice in her current grief, and should not be taken as any offence against you. I would then leave her a letter, and then try again a few days later. She will need you to hold her hand at some point when she is ready.
