Just be there for her as much as you can. Let her cry if she needs to; it relieves some of the sadness. Also, talk to her about your favorite memories of your grandma and listen to hers. Memories will keep her in your hearts and make you both feel better.

Express your feelings about how you feel about it and maybe she'll open up and talk about how she feels. Let her know you are there for her to talk to at anytime about anything. Then go have some sisterly time while doing your talking..go for a walk, rollerblade, ect. What ever activity you two enjoy doing together will get her mind off of the saddness for a while. Time will start to mend her broken heart but it will take time. Your a great sister for asking how to help your sister in her time of sadness and i'm sure you'll have her feeling better just with your support and presense. Sorry to hear about your grandmother and wish your family the best! God bless!

Hi, try to be with her all the time. and say to her that everybody will die sooner or later but she preceded us , try to make her grandmother's attitudes alive , and try to ask god for keeping her safe where she is, and say to her that she will meet her in place where nobody knows only dead persons, the death is not the flesh death but it is the soul death because there are persons who are alive but seem dead in reality, say to her that God will give her something else in her grandmother's place, may be a husband or something that can fill in the gap inside her heart, and she should bear in mind that all of us will die so , keep living as it should be and try to avoid the sadness, it can destroy her soul and the hope for living better in future, her grandmother can not do anything for her now, she has gone away, let her in peace, live and let people live also. good luck.

It's normal to be sad when someone you love dies. Why do you feel you need to help her? All she needs is the appropriate time to fully grieve and mourn grandmother's death. You can just 'be there' for her by making yourself available if your sister wants to talk and you need to just listen. Do not tell her not to cry--tears are good because they're natural.

I'm sorry for your loss. It is always hard when someone we love passes away. Let her talk about her grandmother and just listen. We don't forget people just because they die, however it helps to remember the good times. Talk to her about the times she saw grandma laughing or times when she was just purely happy. Whe nshe is ready she can look at photos of grandma smiling. This will help to keep a happy image of grandma in mind (for both of you). It is really hard if the only thing you keep remembering is the funeral and what your loved one looked like there. Remembering the good times will help for years down the road when something happens that reminds you of them, you'll remember her smile, eyes or something special about her and it doesn't hurt so bad. Best wishes to both of you.

Help her work through her grief with a memorial project. She could make a photo collage with pictures of your grandmother and the family. This may bring back fun memories and help her laugh again. Your a sweet sister to want to help her through this hard time.

Just let your sister know that you are there for her and that you love her.Also take your sister out some where so that she can enjoy herself and get it off of her mind.But one thing you need to know is that no matter what you do,when she is alone she will have time to think about it and she will be feeling down again.So do your best to comfort her in the time of her lost and always try to do things with her to keep it off her mind.I'm sorry to here that and I wish the both of you the best.

U cant, she just needs time. Do something she likes to do though. I had my dad, grandparents, uncle, best friend etc all die. It takes time. Its a part of life. U could talk about the good times, but thats sad too sometimes.

be sad with her. you lost a grandmother too. Cry with her and talk about how great she was - it will be OK. You will always miss her, but your sister and you both need to grieve.
