It may be different outside the US, too. But since this wasn't a hit and run, I'd guess judicial aspects have been covered.Keep in mind lads, vehicular manslaughter has a statute of limitations of 3 years. She has no power to threaten us for killing her son.
But as others have said, it is often helpful for those left behind by a victim to get to know the other side, regardless of whether it was a crime or an accident. And it doesn't have to be for ill feelings (could easily be of course, we'll find out). You'd probably not show up at the door unannounced but the general idea is sound. It also may help the driver.
Friend of mine got killed in a car accident long ago. Her parents and the driver had long sessions of crying together. Helped my friend's parents, and probably the other woman, too. Just eating it up means it'll burst out at the most inconvenient time.
