Best friend's mum died yesterday

[marimoo]

My best friend's mother died unexpectedly yesterday. I spent ages on the phone to her so she had an opportunity to talk and get things off her chest. This just doesn't seem to be enough. It is difficult for me to get over and see her as she is very far away and I am at work. Any suggestions as to how I could show my support?

You are showing your support by spending time talking to her on the phone.

Maybe you can arrange a get together with her sometime soon?

Talk to her when you can... or preferably listen to her!

See her when you can and listen some more.

I'm sorry for her loss and I'm sure you'll continue to be a fab friend!

BTW, she's lucky to have a friend like you to talk to. You say that doesn't seem to be enough, but it's probably making a huge difference to her. Whatever you do, you won't be able to take away her grief totally.

i'd say keep phoning over the coming months. People have a tendancy to be fab when the death first happens but over time things tail off and the attitute aren't you over it yet creeps in. She will just appreicate having someone to moan to, listen and soemone just rant at. Simply being their for her will be enough.
