Question

My friend dyed last week, what should i do to console his mum?

Answer 1

i'm terribly sorry to hear that.  just be there for her.  that's really all you can do. go visit and sit with her a while a few times a week and call to check in sometimes.  she's probably got family that will help to support her, but it will make her feel comforted to see that one of her child's friend's cared that much.

take care.

Answer 2

call ahead and see if they would like to visit with you.Take over copies of your pictures that you may have and talk of the good times. It may be nice to have you in their life.( a piece of your friend)Bu t if you feel they are reluctant back away and give space and try not to be offended it may be too painful to see you.but i would bet the first would be nice

Answer 3

just being there should help.  She needs to have her sons friends around her now.

Answer 4

I'm sorry for your loss, and for Mom's loss.  Tell her what's in your heart - be genuine.  You wouldn't even have to say anything at all - just showing your support will be good.  Go visit with her often, and it will mean more than words alone.

Answer 5

Not much. That is the worst since parents are supposed to die first ( by the way it is spelled died, not dyed) Write her a nice card or note telling her all the good qualities your friend had and how you will always remember. That might be nice but I doubt anything can take that pain away for many many years.
