just be there. I would just not say anything about it unless it is brought up. Also, try to take her mind off it. Get her out of the house and let her have a good time.

if their grandmother is dying how do you think you should act.
its common sense, you should be comforting to everyone.
if theres a lot grief in the house, you should NOT be laughing and joking cause thats rude.
just be kind, poliet and comforting.

Well, I'm guessing that you do not know the grandmother that well. I think that you should just introduce yourself to the grandmother, but really, there is nothing that you can really say. You did not know her. All you can do is to be there and try to give comfort to the family.

say you're sorry the grandma died
(even if you're not cuz it'll make you look more sensitive and caring and wont make you look like an asshole. pardon the language)

tell her that you are here for her, if she needs to talk or just wants to be held--just listen and help her relax, backrubs, tissue, etc...
tell her you love her and that you cant begin to understand how she feels (unless you can) and that you have a shoulder for her to cry on (if she is crying)
tell her family that you are sorry for their loss
