Grandma
My friend's grandma is really close to dying, and she is really upset about it because she has been through more than I can even describe and if I did it would take me a long time.. But I never know what to say to make her feel any better about it.. I usually just say I'm here for you and it'll all be okay and stuff along those lines but I don't know what to tell her.. Any suggestions?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
All you can really do is try to calm her down. A death isn't easy for anyone to handle but at times we have to accept it. Just try to make her understand that the way humans were made were to last until a certain period of time and then we have to let go. As much as it hurts us to see people we love leave we need to realize this is the way GOD made us.
Try to distract her and make her laugh if you can to try to cheer her up. This is a very hard situation and the only thing you can really do is be there for her :)

Blah, I know exactly how crappy that feels. My best friend's grandma just passed away the day after Thanksgiving. She had been sick for awhile, and my friend had always come to me for help.
Since you obviously can't prevent what could happen in the future, there isn't a whole lot you can do, other than what you've been doing.
But honestly, just letting your friend know that you're there for her, might be a bigger help than you think. If she needs to talk or a shoulder to cry on, then just be there for her and let her know you care.
And if the unthinkable happens, and her grandma does end up passing away, I would suggest going to the funeral with her, if you haven't thought about it already. I went with my friend, and she said it was a HUGE help, knowing she had someone with her, when she was dealing with such a rough situation.
I hope this helps, and I offer my condolences to your friend. :-

just tell her that everything will be okay and that whatever happens you will always be there for her and that she can share anything with you.Make her feel comfortable so that if she needs a shoulder to cry on she can.
