that is so sad keep up what your doing every little bit helps ,sorry to hear .Help i feel so bad i need some advice?
Awwh well im sorry for the loss. God bless you and the family.


im not really sure. maybe just moral support. and just knowing that he is in a better place.
Maybe you could offer to help out by cleaning their house or doing some laundry, basic things that could help alot.
Good job! You are doing the right things. Visit often but don't make a pest of yourself. Invite your friends to join your family for events and church (if they are religious) but don't insist. Ask the bereaved men to help you with a chore which will take their mind off their loss at least for a short time. Offer to listen if they want to talk but don't insist. Just sitting quietly can often be a great comfort. Let them know how much you care for them and their friendship. Bake lots of cookies. Do not be afraid to laugh in their presence. Offer assistance when needed. Time will help to heal but will never lead to forgetfulness.
