We've been friends since we were kids. His dad was a super kind christian man that never raised his voice. He had a good life. I want to do something different than flowers for his family. I know "being there for them", etc, but I was looking for something a little more. I am real heart broken.

this is a great opportunity to make some food for them and maybe meet some basic needs that are forgotten when grieving. People forget to eat. Perhaps a little clean up. Some behind the scene stuff. A card. Pick up were everyone else is at a halt. Maybe do some dishes or while you are there you could tidy up. Others will be doing the same.

I called my friend everyday at the same time. I asked her if she was ok (as in, still alive and didn't do anything stupid). I then told her that if she wanted to talk, I'd listen, and if not, then I would let her go.
I also went over to her house, knocked on the door, and left a box of tissues and godiva chocolate.
when my dad died, I was really hurt that my friends couldn't be there for me. definitely be there for her. just make sure you give her space.

well start off by tellin ur friend u will always be there for her to talk to. if she comes over n she is cryin just hold her n let her do the talkin.
i no it must be hard for u to so u must have to grieve has well, don't forget u can talk to ur parents about it.
she may find it easier talkin to u rather than her mam cause of upsettin her mam more. maybe by goin over n askin her family if u can do anyfink for them even if it is only shoppin ur helping. they r just grateful u asked them n u r there for ur friend.
try not to ask her too much how she is feelin cause shes goin through so much pain its a very silly question. and i no how much i hate it.
hope u can get through this with ur friend!!
