Re: Help Me Be Less of an Insensitive Prick

Just be there for a hug and say less... all you can do is be cool. The more you talk... the more likely it is you'll stick your foot in your mouth.

Great advice. In fact, you won't even realize that you have said something that has offended her or upset her until it is too late. Just be there, let her know you are there 1-2 times a day, give her a hug, give her space, and let her grieve.
There is a middle ground that you need to occupy. Nobody who is grieving needs an insensitive dick around, and nobody who is grieving wants overbearing friends or family members. Occupy the middle.
So yeah, more hugs, less talk, and let time pass.
