Grieving, and how long one grieves, varies for everyone. Professional group and individual related support stuff exists where I live. Maybe you could hint/recommend something like this to your friend if they're having difficulty with their loss.

Different people react and cope in different ways to grief, so you cannot generalise.
Just be there for your friend as and when they need you, whether it is in person or on the phone (sometimes people need space to cope and sometimes being overcrowded by "helpful family and friends" makes their situation worse)

thumbs up Very true.
In my case I didn't want to talk about it or dwell on it at all, simply got on with life in public and grieved when alone.

On CS, we lost someone that just about all of us liked very much.

He was a character at times and other times he was very compassionate to those who needed a hug.

He sent us flowers and cards. He was into photography and would often write a thread showing his beautiful photographs.

We still talk about him in the threads....Buddy would love this or that... or how is Buddy's little dog... and we still say how much we miss him.

We think of his demise as peaceful, floating away on his blue butterfly.

I think the CS members like to talk about him because it gives us the opportunity to remember him fondly the way he was when he was healthy and hell on wheels.

We would rather focus on his heartwarming qualities then to remember how much he suffered through his illness.

CS will never forget Buddy (Jeeepers) sad flower teddybear

Hi, just let them know that you are there 24/7, to talk and just be there beside them if they do not want to talk...just a major support...a hug or just hold their hand, a connectedness

offer to help with home duties, cooking, care of children, etc

talk about the person and let them know that they were and still are meaningful in our lives....certain things they did to make another's life better, happy, worthwhile etc

never let their memory die.............as it lives on in many things

To be on hand when needed but at the very same time be sensitive enough to step away when the bereaved person simply wants to be alone.

Usually just being there and not saying a word is often all that's wanted.Also be a good a listener.

Be available to run errand,daily chores,if they have children offer to babysit.
