Is it love at the wrong time… or just the wrong thing all together?
It sounds like what she wants and needs the most right now is a best friend who she can depend on for support. She doesn’t need a real relationship to worry about right now. Dealing with the loss of a parent, especially when she’s just waiting for it to happen, is extremely exhaustive in every sense of the word. Give her time to get through this and just always be there for her right now. After her father passes and she has had time to get her emotions and life in check, then approach her about it again. Right now, her father’s health needs to take precedence and you sound like you are willing to be her support through it. Just give her space and time with the relationship issue because I highly doubt it is what she wants to be worrying about right now. Good luck and I’m sorry for her loss she will be experiencing. I know what she’s going through.
