Dragonflymagic is correct in what they wrote. The most important thing you can do for your friend is be their for her. Lend her your shoulder to cry on when needed. The only thing any one can say to anyone grieving over a death is, "I/m sorry for your loss.
Just as you grieved when you lost your grandfather so must she. Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Though we all go through the five different stages of grief.
If she wants to talk about her great grandfather let her. That's her way of grieving. sit and listen that is all she is asking she is not expecting a reply she just needs to talk about him/ Many people would try to change the subject, do not do that. Let her talk and just be supportive.

Just be there for her. Just your presence is enough to let her know you care. Losing anyone, from sibling to parent, grand or great grand parents will bring on grieving in those left behind. If you have lost grandparents, then you already know what it is like to lose a loved one, no matter yours is grand and hers great grand. Allow her as much time as she needs to go through grieving, during which she will be sad as you were once. Don't expect her grieving to be over in the same time it took you. Its different for everyone.
