I ask because I am not good with these kind of things. Please help me and can you give me something to say that will cheer her up in any way. Thank you.

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard-
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)-
I asked Him to send you treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And my friendship to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small-
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

Just give her a hug and say, "I'm so sorry for your loss". If you can't do that, find a nice sympathy card and give it to her. Just be there for her. Nothing will cheer her up, sorry to say. I lost my mother 9 yrs ago and I still miss her very much. Tell her you are here for her no matter what she needs. She may need to talk. Let her. She may cry. Let her. That is the biggest help you can be.

Tell her you are very sorry for her loss and if she ever needs someone to talk to that you`ll be there for her. Don`t press her for details. Ask her if theres anything you can help with right now such as driving people to the funeral or helping with the arrangements if there is a wake. Right now you can`t cheer her up, there will be time for that at a later date.

Nothing will cheer someone up in their time of grief. Allow your friend to grieve naturally for the loss of her mother. It's good to grieve.
Be there for her. All you ever need to say is, "I am so very sorry for your loss." And then be there when she needs a shoulder to cry on or a friendly ear to listen to her.

Let her know your there for her for whatever she needs. My friends mom died and it was hard for me too but i was there for her in other ways like...watching her kids, cleaning. Giving a helping hand is always good in these though times. I also reminded her that her mother was in a better place looking down on her and that one day they would be together again.

No sense in trying to cheer her up. Just say "I'm very sorry about your mother." Be supportive. Tell her that you'll be there for her.

The BEST thing you can do is just BE with her and listen. She needs a shoulder and a willing listener now. She may not be herself for awhile. Be kind and be patient. Tell her you are sorry for her sadness and her loss. Otherwise, just go be with her so she doesn't feel so alone.

That is a really hard thing to go through. All you can do is tell her you love her, and you are there for her, no matter what she needs. Dont try to force her to talk about it, she will on her own time, just let her know that you are there if she does want to talk.

I know how you feel. I don't think there's a right thing to say - just be there for her. I think the presence of a close friend is more comforting than words. Just let her know that you are there and if she needs anyone to talk to, it can be you.
