Advice For a Loss

Just be there for her; in the room, on the phone, or right next to her. I learned never to say "I'm Sorry". From personal experiences it does not help and it does not make the person feel any better. Do not just sit there and cry. Go out have fun, shop a little, go to amusement park. That loved one would not want her to sit there and cry, the loved one would want her to happy. My advice is to go and have fun. Take her mind off of the subject. It worked for me.
