I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope you have someone you can just sit with on this terrible day. Please don't isolate yourself.
I know you don't know what to say to the boy's mother or even to the driver. This was a tragedy for everyone involved. But perhaps, perhaps, you could write a letter to the boy. Spirit to spirit. This letter would not be for anyone else, just for you to get out your thoughts and words, exactly like you did here.
And, if you go, I think it is totally OK to not have words. Hold a candle or a teddy bear, which protects you from having to hug (your hands are full) and maybe just take a poem or a prayer to read and/or leave. BUT, if you go, don't go alone and don't go home to an empty house. Keep yourself safe.
Hugs from me.
Daisy
