It is SO important to grieve, and that process should not be rushed. The best thing you can do is simply be there for her when she wants to talk. Just listen. Tell her you love her and that you wish she didn't have to go through this. Tell her that she didn't deserve it. Tell her that you wish you could lessen her pain. Tell her you will always be there for her. <BR/><BR/>Those are the things she needs to hear. Not that she must "face it" or "deal with it" or that it will get better. Nothing anyone says will be able to lessen her pain or grief, and she shouldn't be made to feel like she's on a timeline. <BR/><BR/>Just by writing what you did on your blog, you've shown that your love for her extends beyond "formalities." You are the best type of friend to have in a crisis situation.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177886204147122979noreply@blogger.com
