Answer #1

You can’t avoid the issue…if you have a chance to see your friend, then she’s going to need a hug at the very least. If she needs to cry - let her…it’s good to cry.

Just be a shoulder for her to cry on and this, too, will pass.

Answer #2

You’ve already been a great friend, leaving the supportive message on Facebook - all one can say is ‘I’m sorry for your loss’ - you’ve done that, just knock on her door, say Hi, smile and give her a hug - she’ll know and talk about it when she feels comfortable.

Answer #3

Hi Katie, I think if you want to be useful to your best friend during this time, simply be there for her, she’ll tell you what she needs, ask her if she’d like to talk about it while you’re there, let her do the talking, its the only way you’ll understand how she’s feeling, then put yourself in her place and treat her & talk to her as you would have liked to be treat, simply be there for her.
