If it's just happened, I'd say leave them be. When it's settled maybe look at mowing the lawns, or taking the kids for a bit.

Apparently it happened Monday but yeah thinking we might leave it a few days before we reach out, let them know if there’s anything they need.

It's nice to let them know, but many people in crisis will just say "we're fine" or similar if offered help. Try to look for a decision or some effort you can take out of their hands.
