Grieving Friend

My best friend that I’ve known since I was 2 called today and said that her father died yesterday. we rushed right over. there were people everywhere, some were crying, some seemed as if in a trance, and some just talked like nothing had happened. my friend (let’s call her jennifer) is having a hard time letting it sink in. her sister seems like a zombie. I want to help so bad, and they want me to be with them, but I don’t know how I can help or what I can do. please help.

Answer #1

Just support her talk to her when she needs it but there really isnt anything you can say to make anything different, it will take time for that to heal. People heel over these types of things differently sometimes people want space from others, sometimes they need comfort from a guy friend etc.. you just have to feel it out and see what she wants from you.

Answer #2

just be her friend.. act the way you always act. if your awkward or upset around her it will only make things worse. you can probably read her good enough to know whether or not somethings bothering her so just make sure your there to offer to talk or listen if she needs it but dont push her into talking. try to bring a happy vibe when your around her and the family.. but dont be overly joyed if everyone around you is depressed, you know what i mean. but make sure your the same friend you were before her father died.
