Answer 1

Its extremely extremely sad:



Be with her all the time as much as you can. And do nothing..just sit with her and listen carefully whatever she says..just listen...don't give too much of your inputs...only listen and hold her..

Help her with all her work..



Basically be like a mother to her..

Answer 2

Death is such a hard emotion. It is never easy, regardless how prepared you were.



There are many levels of grieving and your friend must go through each one. She may even become angry with you. All you can do is be there and be a good listener. Right now she does not know what is next, she may have some regrets, she may not have gotten to say everything she wanted to say to her mom. Hopefully she can get some grief counseling to help her through this.



The best thing you can do is put your strong shoulders on and just be there for her. Don't take anything personal. Whatever she says or does right now is emotions, be patient. But do not let her become abusive to you either. There has to be a line that she cannot cross. Good luck

Just be there for her, don't bring it up. Just listen is the best way to help her. It's obviously a very rough time for her so just make sure that if he needs something your there for her
