one of my friends mom died how can cheer my friend up?

Answer 1

give her a million dollars.....

Answer 2

Tell him/her he/she should go along with life. My great grandma died and I was really upset. But I would think I will feel sad to hear that one of my friends parents had died. My friend Denise lost her mom. I was really sad for her. Tell him/her that I am really sorry. To cheer him/her up you should hug him/her it is useful. Give him/her some company. Don't let your sight off from him/her. He/she might do something ridiculous.


P.S
Oh yeah! Can you be more specific. Is it a girl or boy?

Answer 3

You can't cheer her up. I will take time for her to grieve. What you can do though is allow her to talk about her mom. Too many people avoid that, when family members often want just that very thing. Tell your friend that if she needs you, she can call any time of day or night.

Answer 4

There are somethings in this world that you just can't fix. don't ignore that this person still has a mother. don't try to tell your friend there is a reason for this.....that does not make sense to a grieving person. be there, be a friend, if they want to get mad at life, don't tell them they are wrong, or try to point out the good things...right now they don't see the good. don't walk away from your friend even if your freiend acts angry with you for no reason.
When your mom dies you lose something that you never get back, more than just your mom, you loose the future life you were supposed to have, and it comes back at every milestone, graduations, marriages, births, etc. not to mention every holiday she is gone.

be there, be a friend.

Answer 5

You can't. Your friend just suffered a terrible loss. It may take months or years for him to cheer up.

Just be supportive and sensitive - offer to keep him company whenever he needs it - don't try to cheer him up, but do be cheerful around him. He'll come around in his own time.

Answer 6

Just be there for support and let them go thru the grieving process.

If your friend wants to be alone, respect that but keep checking in to let them know you are there.

Pick up slack for them by doing a chore of theirs or running an errand for them. Take them some prepared food.

What would you want from a friend if it were you?

Answer 7

all you can do is be there for your friend. theres no way their just going to be happy, unless they truely didn't can about their mom. Just let them know you're there if they need someone to talk to and that you'll be there for them. Give your friend some time and if they need it a little space too. It might take a while but they'll come around.

Answer 8

Invite her to do things with you, like go to the mall or the movies, play sports, go to dinner--the usual stuff. But also let your friend talk about her mom if she needs to, and you just be a listening ear and give her a hug now and then to let her know she always has your support.

Answer 9

Just be there for your friend. Remind them that you are there for them if they ever need a helping hand or just a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes just knowing someone cares makes all of the difference. Sounds like you are a good friend, they are lucky to have you.

Answer 10

I wouldn't worry so much about cheering her/him up, just be there for her/him. She/he needs to grieve and it really is not a happy time. I know you want to make her/him feel better but the best thing is just to listen and be there for a while.

Answer 11

Please don't try to "cheer" your friend up. You can't. Nobody can.

That simply is not the way grief works. Your friend must go through the pain and suffering of losing his mother. As a friend, it is up to you to lend your shoulder to cry on and be there when they need somebody to talk to.

There are grief supports throughout the country that can help your friend. Please help seek one out.
