That's always hard. I never know the right thing to say...I think it helps for them just to have someone to lean on and be with them in a difficult time.

Just be there, listen, and don't over-do the sympathy. Perhaps make a meal for them, because you can guarantee they won't feel like eating. Talk about the deceased as if they were still around - be happy about hem, remember the good times, the great things about them. Most of all, let them cry if they want to. Cry with them if you want to. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Just be there for the person. As someone who lost her mother recently, you can't make a person feel better after losing such an integral part of his/her life. You can listen, hug or just keep them company--base your actions on how they respond. We all grieve in different ways. But I can say it was a great comfort to me having friends and family at the funeral and calling to check on the family in the weeks after.
