Not long ago, a former classmate of mine told me that cancer took her mother away from her. She has been having trouble going to sleep ever since. She misses her mom much and cries at night. I suggested her to move to another city but she said she missed her more when she was away from home. How do you deal with such situation?

I'm sure your friend will feel better. It just takes a little while. It's natural that she should miss her mom so much. And it's never easy to lose a beloved one. She's lucky to have friends like you who cares about her so much. Be her good listener might help and i believe that you've already been one.
Btw,welcome aboard and happy mylotting!

You're absolutely right. I try my best to keep my ears open for her any time she feels like talking. That's the only thing I can do right now. I have lost my dad for such a long time yet I still feel pain in my heart from time to time.

My daughter lost her mother recently and she has been helped by having adult women friends to talk to. It is especially difficult as she is going through puberty a time when it is helpful to have a mother around. Having people around to talk to is very important at times like these and if your friend is having an especially bad time then a professional councilor might be needed. I sounds like you are being a good friend and being a good listener.
