Well my best friend her grandfather died yesterday and I'm not sure what i should do to comfort her and her sister? She started crying on the phone and I wish i could have been at home with her but the thing is that she lives 2 hours away and she won't even make it to the funeral because shes in university and has labs of some sort. But she said that she would go to some thing next week not to sure. But what can I do about this.

You can attend funeral to pay condolences for your friends grandpa and to let her know that you where thinking of her. It's a shame that she is unable to attend but sounds like they may be having a celebration of his life next week and you can attend that also and be there for your friend and her sister.
Right now though you can tell her how extremely sorry you are to hear of her loss and listen to her when she calls and needs a friend she can cry and talk with.

always be there for your friend whether it is day or night. i know i have one time in the past helped out some one by taking pictures of the person and the flowers and the funeral (before and after) so the person would be able to say good by in their own way and that made her feel like she was a part of the funeral. You can take pictures of anything you want at funeral homes and most churches. If they show a DVD video at the service you might offer to get a copy of it as well.

Let her know that if there is anything at all you can do for them you'll be there to help. Reassure her that she has many people around her that love her and care very much and that this shall too pass. After a little time has passed invite her to come over and spend some time with you, watching movies, or whatever activity you both enjoy. Allow her time to grieve alone, don't push. My father passed away a couple years ago and it just meant so much to me that my best friend was there by my side. Good luck and my condolences.

GO to the funeral if you can, to support her family. Also, talk to her on the phone and just be there for her. Maybe send her a sympathy card

Don't try to comfort her because when my granfather died everyone was like "aw are you okay?" That only made me feel worse so just say if you need any thing, I'm there for you

Just be there for her. You don't have to do anything. Just keep telling her that you are there for her. You might say that you know she is hurting. Try to avoid saying it will be okay, or that you know how she feels.
Just be.
Take Care.
