I've been there, I lost my son 5 yrs. ago the same way, Listen, Listen and Listen. Be there when she needs to talk or cry . It doesn't get easier with time you just learn to deal with it. I still call my friends when I have rough days.

What a terrible sad thing to happen. I hope she has other children. The one that's lost can never be replaced but if she has more at least there's some motivation to get out of bed in the morning. She'll try and be strong for them.
Comfort? There's really nothing you can do or say to take away that kind of pain. Lots of listening and hugs. Expect quite time though. Don't force her to talk, just be there when she's ready. Sometimes just the quiet company of someone who cares is as good as all the talking in the world.

Not much I'm afraid. All you can do is be a listener. When a person is grieving, the best thing in the world is to TALK. You can talk to her about all the good things he brought into all your lives. You can agree that it was a terrible thing to happen. The very worst thing you can do is "try to get her mind off it". She needs to talk and talk - probably for many weeks..

make sure you can always drop whatever youre doing to rush to their side and hold the box of tissues.
make cups of tea.
and listen to them.
shes obviously going to be devastated and its not going to happen overnight but she'll find a way of dealing with her loss.
she needs to be patient to get over it, and you need to be patient too as giving up your time for her may not have results for some time.
be a shoulder to cry on.
this isnt going to be easy for anyone involved

a shoulder for her to cry on, the assurance everything happens for a reason, a compassionate ear, telling her her son is looking down on her, and would not want her to dwell on the tragedy-but to remember the good times.

Just being there in case she wants to talk, seeing if there is anything you can do for her, will be a great comfort.

that she should feel lucky that God had given her such a precious gift for sixteen whole years, other people dont have the luck, she should be thankful and remember the good memories

there is no comfort i dont think. you just have to be there for her it will take alot of healing time to ease the pain of losing a child.
