What to say

[Alaska]

My best friend's Mom currently passed away. I don't know what to say to her.. or how to help her. Her mom was so important to her, and her dad was terrible to her. Is there really anything to say when someone's lost someone that important to them? I remember how excited her mom was for her baby...And now she'll never get to see her...

I'm sorry to hear your friend lost someone so important to her. I know you're feeling helpless, but I know how your friend feels, I think. I know what it's like to lose someone so close to you.

The best thing you can do is be there, there's nothing really specific to say. Make sure she knows you're open to talking, that she can open up to you and tell you how she's feeling, but don't push it too hard and make her feel like she has to. Send her a text every now and then, just ask her how she is. Just be around and be the friend you've always been. That's all she needs right now.

It's gonna be a hard road, and your support will help her a lot. You obviously care about her and she's lucky to have a friend like you.

Thank you... I told her I was opening to talking...but I don't think she wanted to at least not yet. :\ Thanks for the advice.

Hey im sorry that happened to your friend.
My dad was diagnosed with an incurable disease and honestly nothing anybody could say would make it better and I didn't want to talk about it at first and it took me a long time to really open up but once i did i realized that although nobody could make it better talking about it did make it easier.
So just be there if she needs someone to talk to or simply be with her. Even if she isnt up for talking it could be nice to just spend a night watching movies and eating popcorn when she feels up for it.
