    without the hug. I lost both my parents. You don't need to be patronised, you need to be told the truth. Be honest. Things are going to be hard, but will get better.

    let them do the talking if they feel they need to say something, then be a good listener.

    I'm socially awkward, especially in situations like that, so generally I'd just say sorry and offer my condolences. Unless I knew the person that passed, will I hug and comfort the person that told me.

    It depends on how close a friend they are. I always say I'm sorry to hear that and sorry for their loss.

    avoid saying anything about it

    My mom's dad died today. I don't handle death well. My brain just goes: "oh well, they're gone. nothing you can do about it. click." So I've just been kind of letting her be alone.

    Sincerely express you are sorry for their lost and tell them if you can do anything for them (within your means) that you will do it.... just be there it is so comforting.

    I never know what to say. A friend of mine told me he had cancer... I had no idea what to say I ended up saying "Wow...umm... That sucks."

    If I know them well or if it seems an appropriate action. I say, "I'm sorry for your loss and let me know if I can do anything for you during this difficult time."
