Every person grieves in their own way. If she's like your sister, you will know what she needs at any given time. The best thing that you can do for her is to give her the love and support and reassure her that you are there for her.

First of all, she needs time to grieve. She needs to deal with the death of her husband in whatever way works for her. All you can do as her best friend, is be supportive and be there for her if she needs to talk.
Have her over for coffee or a dinner with just your immediate family and hers, if she still has young kids at home.
You can't be with her 24/7 holding her hands. This is neither realistic or even advisable. She needs to make adjustments and come to terms with the fact that her life has now changed. Sometimes we can do this better when we don't have someone constantly around.
Give her the space she needs, but reassure her you are there for her, should she need you.
My condolences to your friend. Losing anyone is never easy, but time does have a way of healing the sorrow and emptiness.

When she is really down, talk about him and remember the good times. Laugh and cry with her, she will appreciate it. It takes along time to work thru the death of someone you love. Even when you get tired of talking about, or hearing about him, be there. My husband has been gone for almost 6 years, and there are days that my heart feels like it will break, and then I remember the good and laugh. Don't push her to go out right away, she will when she is ready. You can invite her, but don't feel bad if she doesn't go.

Be there for her. Allow her to grieve. Be a good listener. The one mistake people make while trying to comfort someone they love is by saying "I know how you feel". Unless you have gone through the same exact ordeal as they have, you don't know how they feel. We can only imagine how we would feel over the loss of a loved one. Be a constant for your friend, but know when to back off-take your queues from her.

The best thing to do for someone is just sit there and listen to them crying. Do not really offer advise, just sit there and listen and give them a shoulder to cry on.
Oh, and buy them those packs of tissues that fit in her purse-for the times she needs to cry.

I'm sorry for your friends loss. It will soon be 4yrs my husband died and my friends still listen to me cry like it just happened. It is so hard, so continue to be her best friend, and console her. Good luck

Jesus spoke that those who rise from the dead will be “as angels in the heavens,” for they will not marry. (12:19-23, 25) Those people will not have a desire to want to marry.

What you can do is just be there for her and let her talk all that she wants about her husband. If she wants to cry then let her. Just be there for her.

It all depends on how happy or sad she is that her husband passed away.
