Don't act too weird or different be yourself like before. Make sure you call or visit often and if she cries or talks don't ask her too just let her and listen. Tell her no matter what just know I am here for you....and mean it.

Just be there for her. My Dad and Mom just died. Of course there is nothing anyone could do about it,but just knowing that my friends were there by my side was plenty. I'll never forget them for just that. Tell her I'm sorry,and never forget the times they had together. My Mom was very mean to us while growing up. And my dad did nothing to stop it. ( she beat us horribly ) People wonder why we still loved them both so much. Tell your friend she needs to forgive anything that wrongfully happened between them, and then the memories will be full of happy ones. Tell her to spend as much time with Mom,and she will be thank full she did. Byee

In times like that there's not really anything anyone can do. You can just let her know that you're there for her. You can also help her by doing things that she or her mom might need, such as: grocery shopping, cleaning, or help her take care of her mom while she has to run an errand. But the best thing is to pray.

In situations like that its hard because you want to say something but you don't know what to say and don't want to say the wrong thing and make them feel worse. This may sound weird but when you know they aren't home, call and leave them a "kinda just thinking of you message" or send them a card and just write "just wanted you to know I am thinking of you today and everyday through this difficult time" and just add little touches......maybe call me if you need me, or whatever you feel fits the two of you's relationship as friends. Good luck and my sympathies go out to them.

Just be there. Active listening works, and grief is a complicated emotion. Making a pot of soup and taking it to them is a way to show your caring. My mother died two years ago, and I still grieve her loss. I accept her death, but I still miss her.

the best thing you can do is just be there for her and be a good listener. you can't solve her problems or do anything about them. all you can do is let her know that she has a friend who supports her and cares for her and is there for her if she needs it. just be yourself. and don't overdo it.

Just be there for her, she's going to need a friend
'a friend in need is a friend in deed'

send or give her a card offering your condolences, tell her you are sorry that happened and if she wants to talk, or he, that you are available to talk. send flowers to the funeral. just be there and say you wish it hadnt happened to them and let them talk about it.
