When I lost my daughter to cancer, everybody wanted to comfort me!. I know they meant well, but I just wanted to grieve in peace!. Leaving me alone would have been kinder!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know it's hard to hear, but you can't really!.

If it's recent they're still in their grieving period, the stages of which are as follows [if it helps]

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

all you can do is be a good friend, help them with anything they need, BE THERE for them if they need to talk!. And try to recognize each stage and try to find out more about it as they go through this process!.

good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

at this point you actually dont want them to smile,because then they feel even worse for smiling while their loved one just passed!. i went through the same situation with a friend recently and all you have to do is be with them, help them out, talk it out with them, and let them know your arms are open to them when they need em!. there isnt much you can do unfortunately :/Www@QuestionHome@Com

death is a serious problem!. usually the smile that they give you is fake!. right now what you have to do is be there for that friend!. happiniess wont come anytime soon for them!. crying is the best thing for sadness!. all you can really do is be there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just let them know you are there if they need anything!. I personally don't like to be around people when I grieve!. I had one friend who would not leave me alone, that I ended the friendship over it!. I wish they would have respected my space!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some times you just have to just be their!. My Brother in law died two weeks ago!. I stood by my sisters side through out this time and helped where I could with errons , But most of all you need to be by their side when they are so hurt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just be there for them and let them talk about it!. they have to be able to quantify their own feelings and all that!. but just being there is what they need!. someone who is not full of pity for them but love!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
