Hey. My friend, Hali, her sister died today. Car crash. I texted Hali and told her that I'm here for her. But I really don't know what to say. Hali and me were becoming REALLY close friends, and shes really shy. So I'm scared to talk to her, what to say, how to act. Hali lost her cousin over the summer last year, and her family took it hard, really hard. And now this. I'm scared that I'm going to lose my friend, that she'll push people away. I don;t know how it feels to lose a sister, I don;t. So I need help on what to do, what to say. I was thinking of staying with Hali all day at the funeral home whenever that would be. But I don't know. Hali doesn't have any close friends, I think I;m her closes. Please help me =[

You don't have to say anything- if you're there for her and she really knows it that is enough. She's going through a tough time, and everyone deals with grief differently. Personally, it helps me to be alone but for others it is completely the opposite. So be there for her, at the funeral and everything, but don't try to bring things up or specifically talk to her about it. Most likely, she needs her space but she'll come to you when she's ready. I have a feeling she knows that she's very fortunate to have a caring friend like you.

(Rating: 5) Thank You. I went to her house after track and just now got home. I didn't even ask what happened (i heard things, but didn't know if they were true) and she just started telling me. A 90 year old women ran a red light and hit her. Amanda is only 5 foot, her SUV rolled on top of her, and she died going to the hospital. I just still don't know what to really do, its unreal. Thank you
