A friend's grandmother just died. How do I act?

Question

Ive known this girl since about 2nd grade (finished High School now). Our families have always known each other. The girl and I are somewhat friends. We don't hate each other but we arent closest buddies in the world.

Her grandmother just died. I want to call and say something. What do I say?

Answer 1

just call and tell her you heard the news and wanted to offer condolences. Then make the point of stating "I know we arn't friends but at the same time I wanted to make sure you were doing ok" and leave it at that. She should appreciate the thought and no lines were crossed

Answer 2

How about, "Just learned of your grandmother's death. I am sorry but know you must have many happy memories with her to sustain you. Keep them in mind and remember the good times not the bad. Tadpole

Answer 3

Say hello and how is she coping that your sorry for her loss and offer to do anything to help and try to take her off the subject and talk about things in general!

Answer 4

u dont have 2 say anything, send a sympathy card simply put "thinking of you and your family at this sad time", or "sorry for your loss" etc offer to help out in any way x

Answer 5

just give her a quick call saying that you're sorry for her loss and that if she needs someone to talk to you'll be there for her!! its alrite that your not close friends the gesture alone will give her support!!!
