What do I do if my friend's little sister just passed away?

recently my friend called me and told me that her little sister died, can someone tell what i can do to make her feel better?

Answer #1

Just let her know you’re there for her anytime day or night….hold her, love her, listen to her….let her know we can’t know why these things happen but one day we will understand and be re-united in Heaven….all of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Answer #2

Don’t say anything like ‘it’s going to be okay.’ After being on the recieving end of that one on several occasions I can tell you that it is unappreciated. Grieving people feel like the world could just possibly end because of their terrible loss.

Save the hopeful speeches for later and let the grieving person do the talking.

Regards.

Answer #3

Best thing to do is to go over (if you can) and physically keep her company. Be with her, do stuff for her. Just be there for her.

Don’t say over the phone that “I will always be there for you” but never be there. That tends to suck. Of course I’m saying all of this with the position that you actually live near you friend.

Answer #4

Help her through it. Be there for her when she needs you. If you don’t live close to her, send her a grieving card.
