I'm sorry to hear about your friend's dad :(
Firstly, you need to think of yourself a bit- how are you mentally at the moment? Do you feel strong enough to talk about this issue with your friend?

I guess my best advice is to see how she is feeling. What do she want from you- does she want to just hang out and watch a film, or does she want to talk about it? If you feel up to it, you could let her know that you are able to talk through how she's feeling or just listen, if she wants to rant about how unfair this all is.

A common reaction to suicide from people who've never been suicidal is anger, as they don't understand why someone would take their own life, and think it's selfish. If that is the case it might help to try to explain it to her, and there's plenty of us on here who could help with that!



No other sadness in the world would do
