    I wouldn't. I would try & offer comfort & support instead.

    The same advice I give to anyone that virtually works in any situation:

    "Just keep moving foreward. Every once in a while, you'll find yourself in different place."

    At least they have gone to a better place (Heaven) and are watching down on you and that they are still with you in spirit.

    Keep your mind occupied.
    It does not seem the right answer but it is how I am coping. We all have to find our own time and our own way of dealing with our grief and loss

    Allow youself both time and space to grieve. Don't try to focus on other things just to avoid having to do so. Don't let others dictate when or how you should grieve. It's your grief, handle it in a way that is best for you and you only.

    allow yourself to greive in your own way. if you feel up to it, sit down and write about some of the things you remembered about this person. i have done this before (because somebody gave me the same advice) & i was very glad i did later. the memories fade more than you would guess & they are nice to re-remember later. also, try and think about the good things that happened to/with this person while they are alive. at some point, it isn't productive to dwell upon their death.

    Remember, don't regret. Smile every time you remember as well. Take care

    They don't need advice. Just saying: "I'm so sorry for your loss" is enough.

    It's better to share of a memory of the one who passed if possible.
