I haven't experiianced anything that tragic as my mother passing, but my grandfather passed last year. Tell your friend you are there for them. You can ask if they want to talk as well if it feels appropriate. Listening and love are always needed most.

my friend and I are only 23. her dad recently died suddenly of unknown causes. he had been in poor health but nothing serious. the best I can suggest is being there for your friend and help them remeber the good times they had with him before he passed. my condolences to you and your friend.

I haven't personally experienced this myself but know of two people who have, one a brother and one a dad. First know that nothing you say can fix it. It expected that your friend is going to have a rough time. Just be there for your friend in whatever way they need. Just showing you care will probably be the best thing you can do. Hope that helps and really the only thing that will lessen the pain will be time.

Hi :) im sorry about your loss BTW i just loss my grandma/ and my grandpa um i will ask this, im christian and i believe in life after death so you should take comfort and believing they are in a better place so i just got back from a funeral but... it gets better so i kinda hope this helps and BTW i lov your art.

I hope everything get's better soon! Unfortunately I don't knnow any ways to help, this has never happened but I wish you and your friend the best of luck!

My cousin & grandma passed from cancer. From experience, it is really difficult. Just seriously, be there for them in general. Try to get there mind of it. Be an awesome friend.

Thats just what I would want a freind to do for me. Confort me. Just think, what would you want someone to do for you if you were in this situation. < : )

I experienced this too... My mother's cousin died from a blood cancer.. and I also lost my great grand mother and my grand mother last year... all these tragedies really made me feel bad, but with the time, I felt better. I kept thinking positively, and I had my friends and Colors. óuò and now I'm absolutly ok-
I hope you'll feel better soon. I'm really sorry for what happened...
we are all here for you.

That's so sad, I don't know if any word can do anything about the pain of loss... Only time can help softening it, but it will always be here in his heart and mempry.
Having friends able to listen and share these terrible feelings, or simply to be at our side is more valuable than words sometimes.

draw a beautiful portrait of the mother. seeing youve taken time to make them that may help in a way

that's sad for your friend =/
my uncle passed away few days ago from a cancer, and he had two young children. I can understand perfectly how you must feel unuseful (i don't know if that word exists, i should look on a dictionnary french-english, but i haven't any closer enough to catch it, sorry for my poor english u.u) the only thing you can do is to be here for your friend, and listen to him when he wants to talk. you can also try to distract him by hanging out with him, and trying to ease his pain, but I'm afraid that there is no miracle secret to make him going well, loosing a mother is always increadibly hard =/
all my support is for you and your friend!
