How to help my friend cope? - December 21st 2010, 11:58 PM

My friend Danielle has a friend named Elsie who is 80 something years old and just had a stroke. Elsie has been staring off into space and isn't really here. Today they took her off of life support and they don't think she has much time left.
Danielle is really sad about it, so is there any way I can help her cope with this? I feel so bad for her!

be there for her if she wants to talk, offer support, and try to help her get back to schedule. If you stick with rutine it helps with greiving. Just be there for her, and talk to her and show her you care.



Im open and unprotected, Im fagile and cracked,
I stand alone in a crowd,
I'm the one you don't dare talk to,
Beacause,
I'm Crazy

I think that the best way to help someone who's grieving is just to make sure they know that you're there for them. It can be really easy to feel alone in the world after you lose someone close to you.

All you have to do is be there to support. I know what its like. Just talk to her and make sure she understand you will stand by her.

Maybe you could try sending her a gift like flowers or a small box of chocolates or something with a card telling her that your sorry about her loss and that your there for her. It would let her know that you are there for her and it might cheer her up a bit.

Hope this helps.


Come on boys, come on girls
In this crazy, crazy world
You’re the diamonds, you’re the pearls
Let’s make a new tomorrow
Come on girls, come on boys
It’s your future, it’s your choice
And your weapon is your voice
Let’s make a new tomorrow
Today

Simply be there for her. Be there for her. Chill out with her and if she needs it, a shoulder to cry on.


I came here to help out, so if you wanna talk or just need someone to bounce ideas or issues off of or something else then send me a message and I will reply as soon as I can.

Be there for her. Offer her support. Make sure she knows that she has you to lean on. You can also do something that makes her smile. Buy her her fave candy, or make her a mixed cd. You can make her something too!
Also, to make her feel better, you can do some fun thing with her, like the movies or a shopping. Shopping can be fun.

Just be there for her in the ways that you would want someone to be there for you.


I was looking for a breath of life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh
