Question Posted Sunday August 21 2005, 11:54 pm

i moved away 2 years ago but i go back and visit every summer and talk to my friends at least once a week so we're still really tight. one of my best friends' dad just died. He's been sick for a while but i dont know what to do. I dont want her to think im abandoning her. I want to call her and tell her that im here and stuff but im scared its too soon. what should i do to tell her im here but not upset her more. its only been about a week since he passed.

i think you should write to your friend and tell her that ur really sorry for her. then kinda joke around saying stuff that will make them smile! =)

A week is long enough, the funeral is probably over, the family is gone, and your friend is trying to adapt to normal life agian.

Call her up and tell her you didn't want to call sooner cause you were sure she was busy, and if she is still to busy to talk you understand. Just reach out to her, chances are she'll be grateful to have someone else to talk too.

If you are a close friend then just ring her every friend wants to know how the other friend is feeling about them, tell her you are there for her whenever she needs you, she might cry but it would bring your friendship closer as you are sorta helping her. hope i helped.

I think you should call her ASAP. The faster you call, the more she'll know you care. She'll probably be super happy to know that you really care & you'll be there for her, especially now since her dad just died. But, I seriously think you should call her as soon as you can.

See if you can send her flowers or a care package or something to let her know you are thinking of her, and include a note that says Im here to talk when you need me or when your ready (not literally those words) that way youre not abandoning her, but you are not pushing her to talk before shes ready.
