Q: I just found out that my best friend's dad passed away today. I knew that he had some kind of cancer and she'd been visiting him in the hospital for some time now, I also know that she did NOT get along with him. I never met him because he lived in SC and her and her mom lived in NC. (they weren't divorced, it's actually kind of confusing) Anyway, I'm just not too sure what to say to her. We've been friends longer than I can remember and I know this must be tough for her. I've had some friends pass away, but the only family I've had pass away was my great grandmother and my sister- I was young when my great grandmother passed away and I wasn't even born yet when my sister passed away, so I don't know everything she's going through.
I was just wondering if anyone here lost a parent and what others said to you that was comforting.
I plan on telling here that I'm here for her no matter where I am or what time it is, and I will be there, but somehow that just doesn't seem like enough... I don't know, I'm just looking for some advice on what I can say and what would be comforting. Thanks in advance.

Tell her what you just said. "I'm here for you no matter where I am or what time it is, I'll be here. i wish i could say more because that doesn't seem like enough, but the only thing i really truley know about this situation is that I'm here for you no matter what."
It may not seem like enough, but i really think that's all you can say. Also try to subtley get her to tell you ALL of how she feels. Listen, empathize and try to help. That's what friends are for.
