Losing someone you love is never easy. I have lost many love ones in my 25 years on this earth, and none of them have gotten any easier. What has gotten easier is coping. I have learned how I cope the easiest, and deal with my cycle of depression and grief. This is different with everyone.
Just let them know that you are there for them, and don't smother them, let them have time to grieve alone. When my dad passed away, I had a couple of people that would not let me out of my sight. I needed that time alone to process. Yes, I was 13 years old, but I just wanted some alone time. I don't know if they though I was going to off and hurt myself or what but they were constantly there. If they need a shoulder to cry on, then be that shoulder. If they are wanting to talk ask no questions and let them talk. Yes, I have had to deal with losing a love one, but I never tell them that I know what they are going through. Yes, you have lost a love one, but the situation is really different.
