Help for a friend

Today I was at my friends house and she found out that her cousin died that morning. I don't know what to do to help her. I mean I call her and ask how she is doing. And I tell her she can come on over anytime she wants. I held her when she cried. I just don't know what else to do. Should I be doing something more? Please can you guys help me?

I don't know if this is where I should be posting but I didn't know where else to post.

I know but I hate it that she doesn't understand why it happend. Why she couldn't help him. Why she wasn't there to do anything, it breaks my heart to see her like this. I hate it when she cries because she never does, she was always the strong one. I just hope that I can help her through this. And thank you for the advice, it really helped alot.

Show her love and care it will help, even if it doesn't seem like it. Remind her that her cousin may have moved on, but as long as she remembers her cousin, her cousing can never truly be gone from her heart. Memories are what makes us strong when there is nothing else for us to grasp. Also, tears aren't bad. Not at all, they are the expression of pain. May she find strength through her tears. I hope your friend feels well soon.

If you can at all possible refrain from saying sorry. Yeah it seems like the right thing to say but sometimes it makes people feel worse you know what im sayin?

Yeah I know what you mean. they think he comitted suicide and he was 20 years old. And she is just really confused about it. Because he was always so happy and fine that she didn't know how she could have missed it. And they were getting really close cuz he lived at her house for a while.

Just be a good friend, there isn't much more you can do. Show her you care, keep up what your doing. Loosing someone close to you is always hard. Its alot easier when you have a friend there for you.

I hate to say it but, when someone seems really happy they are usually keeping alot to themselves.

I mean even me, I can't talk to my friends about my life. I feel awkward about it. Sometimes I get so down I feel like no ones there for me. So I can understand how she missed it. He probably wouldn't let it show.

I hope she feels so much better and I hope you can help her as much as you can!
