Starting to date someone who's relative just died

[Ohrenzi]

Hello!

I've been reading Chase Girls for quite some time, and I came to a situation that I wasn't a 100% sure how to act upon.

I went to see this girl, we went had a pizza, went for a walk and I was thinking that things were escalating great. I got signals that she wanted a kiss and so I did.
But after continuing on going to a 3rd place, because I didn't feel like she was completely entranced by me yet to take her home. From a certain point there on, something felt off for me the entire time.
She seemed to be little hazy with her attention?
To which she later admitted, that her great-grandmother had died 4 days prior, who she was thight with.

I comforted her with a hug, because she was visibly still sad about it, and the conversation in a cafe didn't have the best flow.
She wanted to just go home at one point (suggested it herself) and although we kissed through-out the day plenty, she didn't want to kiss me good bye (wanted to hug quick and leave).

I honestly didn't know what to do at the time and didn't know what to do later either.
I searched online for an answer where there was this case, where a girl was dating this guy for 2 months where the guy said that his mother is now dead. In that post it was suggested to write "I don't know what to say but to let you know I care." which I sent.
Also asked for a second date with a ending sentence "I don't know if we should because of recent events.". Turns out that I had asked this question the day before the funeral :S
To which she replied "You're sweet, but honestly I don't know."

This was my first date with this girl, and I wanted to go maybe close it with the second one but now I'm having questioning the situation like...
Should I even continue? Because she would maybe like to mourn. Or maybe because I might associate myself with her deceased great-grandmother.

She has been texting me ever since then over the days some random things and flirty things.
From these messages she seems like she'd be into seeing me, but I don't want to be needy by asking her out for a second time and then get an answer like "I'm mourning, please stop".
I don't want to discuss this death thematic with her via text either, because serious conversations like this would be better to be had face-to-face.
It has been 7 days since we last saw.

In summary, the problem is that I don't know if I should let her be or continue on.
Is it possible that I'll get her to call me out on a date?

So what do you think? - What would you do, if a girl you haven't seen that much, has a situation where her relative died?
In what circuimstances would be ok to continue? Would've it been easier if I have been seeing her for longer than this time?

It's not an issue if you are going to do something and invite her along.

"Hey, I'm headed to the Bookstore to get the new Stephen King book, you are welcome to join"
"Hey I'm going to the grocery store to shop for the week. Grab your list and I'll drive."

These aren't dates per se, but a chance to connect and gauge her interest. At the end of the errand you might have her warmed up enough to come over and fix dinner with her, or grab a drink after and escalate. Some might call it too boyfriendy, but you aren't dealing with a club slut who is attention whoring. You have someone here who is grieving and you wouldn't be asking if you didn't care.

Sure you might get friend zoned. If you are worried about that then don't try to date grieving women.

That said....I was invited out for a drink by an emergency room nurse while at one of her colleagues (an ER doctor who died tragically) memorial service. I was married at the time, was out of town, and I bailed before we got to the bar.
