My immediate reaction was to text her, but I so far waited with that so she doesn't find out from a text by me...

That's really sad...I'm not sure how you should handle it. Are you supposed to meet with her again soon? I'd say wait a bit, maybe closer to when the scheduled meeting it, then say something like, "If you need a bit of time before meeting again, I understand" without specifically referencing the death? I don't know...
