Answer 1

Some people have no respect dont take no notice of the stupid person who wrote that last comment!!!! people these days hey!! whats wrong with them!!

Anyways my lovely. Its going to be difficult to comfort your mum whether you knew the aunt or not, everyone handles death in different ways, some cry their hearts out, some turn to anger, some just go mute, but i suppose all you can do is just keep reasuring her that your their for her if she needs to talk, keep giving her random hugs and tell her you love her, all these will help to comfort her im sure. and then if she's ready to talk then she will. maybe she doesnt want to load everything on you so she may also need to talk to another relative.

Also helping around the house always helps, especialy if your mums not really in the mood to getting up and cleaning after everyone..

Im sorry for your mum's lose, :( Perhaps turning to God in a time like this may help, I understand if your not religious so please do excuse me if your arent.

Take care

Hug your mom and tell her your sorry for her lose and that you will be there if she wants to talk about her.

Answer 3

Hey there. Its tough facing the loss of someone.All you can do to help your mom is to be there for her and let her know that even though good things have gone, there are still things to love for, like you. Just talk to her more often and make jokes to make her laugh, im sure it'll lighten the mood up. good luck.

Answer 4

Often people don't know what to say or how to act when someone else needs comfort through their grief.....however, the person going through it is equally uncomfortable and not sure what to say/act/feel, etc..... The best thing to do is be her friend.....let her know you don't know what to say or do to help, but you want her to feel comforted.....just keep her company...fix her lunch.......anything will do.....just DON"T RUN THE OTHER WAY BECAUSE IT"S AWKWARD!!!!!!!!

She'll let you know if she wants quiet alone time.
