If anyone wants advice I can give it. I have delt with friends who tried to commit suicide, who were anorexic and other tough issues.

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. (link)

One of my best friend's mothers died in a car accident last year. I knew it was really hard for her, but I wasn't sure what to say. You should know that everyone deals differently with grief. Your friend may want company and comforting words. On the other hand, she may want to be alone. But, because you've known each other for so long and are so close, you should be able to discuss with her what she's feeling like. Hope I helped,
