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.

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. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

naimee answered Monday August 22 2005, 12:35 am: 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.

Shortcake22 answered Monday August 22 2005, 12:19 am: 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.
