Ask her questions about her dad too. Talk about him. Even if its a sore subject. I lost my baby boy 1/2 way through my pregnancy last month and even though its hard, I love to talk about it. If you knew her dad at all, lift him up without over doing it. She will appreciate this more than anything. Dont make it out like he never existed.

The best thing to do is listen. I'm sure she'll have quite a few things to say to you, so ask her questions about how she feels now, how her family is doing, and then let her take it from there. As she shares with you, she'll tell you things that you will be able to ask her about, just like you would any other time. You'll be involved in the conversation and you won't be worried about what to say anymore. Just knowing that you are there for her has already helped her, you know. When she gets to hear your voice, and know that you are listening to her, that will mean so much. You're a very good friend, just do more of the things you already do, it's lovely that you care so much.

Don't avoid not talking about your Dad. It would create more of an uncomfortable thing. Unfortunately parents do die. Its a harsh and crappy reality but that is the way it is. Hearing about your Dad will not make it hurt more for your friend. Try get your friend to talk about their deceased Dad. It will make the healing quicker. Sorry

My father passed away, and it doesn't bother me when my best friend talks about her dad. It is a part of life. Yes it is sad and is a hard struggle to get through but if she is your best friend, she will not get upset. Same situation with grandparents, some have them, some dont : (

I'm in the same exact situation. I don't think it would actually hurt her talking about your dad because her's is gone. Be considerate of her loss, and always be there for her. If she wants to talk about her dad, let her. I let mine know that my dad can be her second daddy. =]

you can't stop talking about your own dad, but maybe your friend wants to talk about her dad too. don't assume she doesn't want to talk about her dad. ask her a few questions to see if she wants to talk about him.

you should avoid doing that, as you know your best friend lost her dad. you need to be more sensitive.
