Just be there when your friend needs a "shoulder to cry on". Be supportive. You don't have to have money just be there offer your friendship, that is worth far more than anything money can buy.

Take some paper and create some "Favor" coupons. Give them to your friend. These coupons are so you can do your friend a favor like help clean the house or cook a meal or even run errands. When you are going through a loss of a parent there are so many things to do that you do not have time to do because you are just trying to survive.
Another idea is offer to make or purchase Thank you cards to send to everyone that sends flowers or brings food. A box of Thank you cards cost like $2.50 at wal-mart.

Be there for them.
You don't have to know what to say, you don't have to send expensive flowers. Ask if there is something you can do. If they can't think of anything (likely they won't) just do little things around the house to help - dishes, cook casseroles, stuff like that. It sounds weird, but when my father passed on, my mother's friends would show up with dinner - it was such a relief not to need to think about that on top of everything else. And, people know you can't do a lot for them, but just be there to be reassuring and try to listen or just be around.
Best of luck to you and your friend

i'm properly versed on the concern of Wicca, having been one myself. First, maybe you should ask your self why you prefer to tell her. If she would not ask you, then she would not prefer to renowned. it is not "cheating", it is in simple terms that persons do not continuously prefer to renowned what faith you belong to. component to being a Wiccan is followinf the guideline of to renowned-To Will-To Dare-to maintain Silent (the witch's pyramid, plagarized from Crowley, atually), which i'm useful you have learn. in case you bypass around telling everybody you're a Wiccan, you at the instant are not residing as much as the "preserving silent" section. additionally, dressing like a "goth", donning pentagrams the dimensions of hubcaps, etc., is likewise not "preserving silent". So the respond could ought to be, no, you shouldn't tell her. ought to or not it is you purely prefer to tell her in hassle-free terms for the ask your self fee? by way of fact of this lots human beings get into Wicca. if so, you're able to get extra suitable than what you prefer should you go with to tell her besides. Silver Ravenwolf says she tells each and every attitude business organization she's a witch. Why? it is a criminal offense for him to even ask, ao the only reason she ought to probably do it is to %. a combat, or hopes for a lawsuit later. So lower back, the respond is not any, do not tell her.

Just be there with a ear to listen. Help out doing little things for them. In a time like this people need to know that there not alone. I know thw feeling , my dad pasted on and just having someone there for support helped a whole lot.

Listen. Let her talk. You can keep a list of the people sending things like casseroles and cards and flowers. Clean the house so they don't have to. None of these cost money and are very helpful.

You need to just be there for them.. Help them thru this in any way you can. By just you being there is more than enough.. Moral support to them is more than any amount of money can buy. Don't worry about stuff like that. Just listen to them & let them cry, vent & shed their tears & hug them when they need it.. You can be their shoulder to cry on.

You don't need money...you just need to give your time and support if at all possible. That means so much more.
