The best advice would be to talk to your primary counselor about it. As a professional they can give you good guidance. Grief is a very difficult thing that everybody deals with differently. While you may want to help others, sometimes it's not our place to do so.

As a friend, some key things to being there for somebody is to be a good listener if someone wants to talk about it. Lend an ear and a shoulder to cry on. If they are having a really hard time then tell them to speak one-on-one with a counselor to help them understand and sort through their grief. Good luck.

Wishing peace & happiness to you and your friends at the center.

Just be a good listener if they want to talk about it. I'm sure the other counselors will do a good job of helping deal with the grief and other feelings. It may be a good idea for you to ask this question to one of them. They will be your very best source of a good answer. :)
