death of a friend

Honestly, just tell them that if they need anything they shouldn't hesitate to ask, and leave it at that. It gets REALLY annoying wheny ou hae just lost a family member and everyone feels like they need to involve themselves in your families life. Often the families just want to be left alone to properly mourn the loss.

If you haven’t experience about condolence and how to advice then don’t say or express anything just go their normally and talk with them normal way don’t try to say anything special. At this time there would be many people who express their sympathy but as the time passes or situation becomes normal then they required or feel help this is the time when you can help. till then just visit normal. Watch the situation and conditions when you feel this the time really now you can do something for their, perform whatever you can do.

At this trying hours you can be just there with them. I can feel what you are feeling because last year I lost my best friend in a tragic accident. I have not yet been able to cope up with the shock. I tell you it's very tough. At this hour Praying helps. It will help everyone. So pray.

You are right, life is so short, and can be even shorter for some than others. Remember the good times and talk with friends who share in your loss or care for you. If you want to help the family, talk to them about what you remember about this person (share personal stories that will let them know how this person touched your life) and let them share their stories with you. You don't have to be around them all of the time, but let them know that if they need you they can seek you out. I'm sorry for your loss and hope that this helps you in some way.

I'm sorry for your loss. If you plan on going to the memorial service, when you go up to the family, let them know he was a friend, and just let them know that if there is anything that you can do, to let you know. Most of the time, the family won't impose on you, but you made the gesture of friendship. If you don't go, then writing a simple note in a sympathy card, and sending it to the family would suffice. As far as dealing with the loss, it takes time. Simply remembering your friend, and some of the good times that you might of had can help in the healing process.

If you don't feel comfortable meeting with them face to face, you might want to get them a card and write them a little note and let them know what their loved one meant to you. They are probably spaced out of their minds right now with grief, but when they go back and find it after some time has passed, they will really appreciate it. I had a friend who was killed tragically when I was in high school and I wrote a short story about that person and what he meant to me for my senior english class. My teacher loved it and talked me into sending it to his mother to read. It took a lot of guts to do, but I finally did. It started a remarkable friendship between me and his family and that is in place to this very day.

i would just send them a card and say that your sorry for their loss and that your thinking about them at this difficult time.

just give your condolences... and a small amount of help

so sad ! you should pary to god for his soul.

wel for any bad news can be disturbing as i get connectd to people easyly

my condolonces to u gear,as u said he may not be a close friend for you,but still a known person,thats more than enough.we will feel the same for any known persons and it is nature of human.just go to his house introduce yourself and convey your condolonces,that will do.

ITS REALLY SO SAD

yes obiously people get ofset.

More then the thought of they needing your help.They will feel better if itself you go and show them that you care for them.And make them understand that if they are in any need of help they can be free to ask you.

I lost my husband suddenly in an accident several years ago. There really isn't much that you can do except to let the family know how much you cared about the friend and how sorry you are that he is gone. A brief visit or a phone call just letting them know you care is all that is really necessary. Nobody will think you are interfering, trust me. Every bit of kindness at a time like this is very much appreciated and remembered.

just a support will do the work

first console them.if possible visit frequently and offer help

really annoying

My codelences. I agree with you though.

i dont kow?
