Question: How do you act around your friend if he mom just passed away due to cancer!?
Answers:
My mum died last year of cancer she was sick only 4 months and it was the most devasting time of my life and still is!. My advice to you is like everyone elses, you need to be there for her etc etc!.!.!.!. but one piece of advice that i can give you is DONT forget to talk about her Mum (maybe not straight away if its too difficult) but in the months to come!. Most of my friends dont talk about mum or what i have been thru at all and seem to ignore that fact that i have lost such an important person!. i know why they do it, its because there scared they might upset me if they speak about her!. But i can guarantee you that speaking about my mum doesn't upset me, i admire people that mention her name and remember her because i will never forget her!. xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Just let them know that you are there!.
Call them to see how they're doing!.
Some people need alone time to start the healing process!.
Others want people around to talk to!.
We are ALL different!.
A good friend will let their friend know that they care and that they are available!.
Don't push yourself on them, but do call occasionally!.!.!.!.just to say, 'How are you!? I'm thinking of you!. Would you like to!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?' Offer to take your friend out to lunch or to a movie!.
You will soon discover whether or not they want to talk or cry!.
We are all different and we deal with loss differently!.
A good friend is supportive and is there when the need is there!. Sometimes we just need to cry!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know it is hard situation!. Sometimes when someone loses a loved one, they dont want to be treated with too much sympathy and "as a victom" because it constantly reminds them of what happened!. If you just act normal and maybe do something you normally do together, it may just help him forget about what happened, at least for a few minutes!. You may want to one time tell him "I'm here for you", and he will know that!. Then just try to be a source of happiness for him and let him express whatever he wants - whether it is cry, laugh, be angry, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sorry to hear about that, it is never easy to go through death of a parent no matter when/how it happens!. What you can do is act normal!. Just be there for her because she is definitely going to need her friends for support!. She is grieving and she will appreciate someone standing by her side who doesn't judge and just listens!. You sound like a really caring friend!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Act normal!. If she wants to talk about it then listen, do what you normally did before!. Life goes on with or without her and a sense of normal life will help!. I lost my mom and no one understands exactly how you feel as an individual!. I always try not to say I understand how you feel--because I don't!. It will take time!. Just still be her friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just let them know you are there for them, let them talk if they need to or lend a shoulder for them to cry on!.
They will feel all kinds of things and so will the family so it is good to have an outsider to talk to!.
