I’m worried that even just seeing an email from me and thinking about work before she reads it might make her stressed out in the midst of her big life event. I’ve already bothered her and been a pain to her because of stuff in my own life during the lead up to this event. So maybe I’m better off and the best gift I can give her is actually just not emailing her at all. But I really did want her to know that I’m thinking of her and wishing her well with this. I’ve been thinking of other options, but I can’t email her before because she won’t be checking then and we have a session two days after, so it wouldn’t really pay for me to email after.

I’m totally open to any advice. I want to do whatever would be the nicest gift for her but not sure what it actually is- whether it’s for her to know I’m thinking of her or to just leave her alone.
Do you know what the life event is? If she gave you permission to email her this weekend, do so if you feel the need. But don't send more than 1 and don't be instrusive.
