When something like this happens, time is really the only thing that can mend your wounds. It's going to take these people a while to get over the death, and there's probably nothing you can do to change that. You can probably make them feel happy again though by just being there for them. Just listen and comfort and realize that if they're a little moody, it's understandable. Take it with a grain of salt. Other than being there... I don't know what else you can do.  |

You know what Dr. Muess - my brother died 5 years ago in a car accident. 5 of my friends went to the wake...which was very nice. Though - they didn't talk to me about it much afterwards, they thought it would make me feel uncomfortable. The truth is, I wanted to talk about it to them...and a matter of fact - it made me feel uncomfortable NOT to talk about it. So whatever you do - just be there for her, and dont be scared to bring her father up in conversation...unless she says not to.  |

the same thing happened to my best friend. it was my birthday party and my mother got a phone call. now her dad had been sick for a while. he has been in the hospital. well it was her older sister. my mother called me inside. she had the saddest look on her face. at that time i knew exactly what had happened. i started crying. my bf's aunt came to get her. she had to leave. i was so upset. i went to the wake and she was upset but she knew that it was his time. all you have to do is stay by your friends side. make sure your shoulder is there to cry on whenever it is. good luck! ¤captin crunch¤ |
