The last person I comforted was my boyfriend, when his mum died after days in intensive care with cancer.
I stayed very close to him, without smothering him. I was there when he needed me to hold his hand, I hugged him, I held him and I let him shout his anger against the world at me. It's all you can do to let the person get it out of their system. People react very differently to grief, some want you close, and some want to be alone.
On a lesser scale, I now help him with the housework and cooking that his mum used to do, and when he still gets sad, I hug him and tell him that she wouldn't want him to be suffering.
The last time I was comforted was by my whole family (including my bf) when my puppy died of a liver infection. I found it so hard to cope with, as the puppy was "my baby". My family were really helpful and loving, and my boyfriend gave me a kitten to have another "baby" to look after.
Just remember, not everyone reacts the same to grief. Some get angry, others cry, and others become distant. It is importanat you are there for them no matter what.

The last person I comforted was two days ago. A good friend of mine is taking a big test that determines if she will be working at a job that she really enjoys or not. I know her well and assured her that she probably knows more than she thinks she knows. She must believe in her ability, take a deep breath, relax and let it flow, it will all come to her.
The last time I was comforted was yesterday as I found out someone I don't need to see right now is coming back to town. My initial reaction was to panic, but I think everything will be ok (after talking to a friend who knows me well). Time will tell.

The last person I comforted was my 13 year old son. He and his father are butting heads most of the time. I recognise that it is such a male thing and adolescence is not helping matters. It is all so normal but my son became very upset the other night, my husband was upset so I took my son to the kitchen and just sat with him while he cried and got his conversation on out. I didn't really do anything, just sat and listened. He was fine after about 15 minutes. I can't remember the last time I was comforted.
