my friend who's name is andee is usually the happy type of person.. she rarely cries. and today, i found out that andee was crying really hard to my other friend. andee is really close to her grandma, and turns out that her grandma has cancer. me and my friend is planning to all hang out and to cheer andee up, but what should i say to be able to comfort her? i'm not very good at comforting people when it comes to something that you can't stop from happening, so what should i say?
please & thank you!

Your friend just needs the love and comfort that you and your other friends can provide for her. Maybe plan an outing with her and just have fun with good laughs, like an ordinary day! It may sound like just to get her mind off the situation that's going on, but it's more of giving her a little hope for her grandma. I wish you luck, and hope for the best for your friend's grandmother!

But, just tell Andee that your really sorry about your grandma and that your there for her if she needs you. [ sweetheart99's advice column | Ask sweetheart99 A Question ]
