My friend my have an STD. What can I say or do to comfort her if she finds out that she does have the STD?
When you say "inappropriate jokes" are they received negatively? If not, it might actually be helpful to joke. It would probably help to just literally say what you feel, for example: "I can't believe this happened" (Although that would be a lie, wouldn't it?) or "Are you feeling alright?" and "Is there anything I can do to help/cheer you up/make things easier?" Asking is generally well received, and would help you too, if you're unsure.

What can be some comforting words for a friend who has lost his father to death?
Just say that “ His ( your friend’s) success will make his father’s soul happy and contented ” .. state the same again and again to him..Few more …“ Achieve what ever you wanted to be… ( When he is alive ).. though he is no more…..”“You may loose his support.. but not his wishes and blessings… ”Though no one can replace a parents position ( How good they might be)…There is a life..… The life still goes on.. There are lot of things to do other than just crying..Comfort him to raise towards goals and career.. Comfort him by saying that you will be with him in his hardships. Staying & offering a shoulder to a friend in his hardships is the best another friend can do.. Let him cry .. let him take the burden out.. Feed him positive thoughts to grow…( Wrote assuming the friend is male - Referred as he / him)
How do you comfort a friend whose parent is very ill?
Im 21 and my friend is 20 and her mother has been diagnosed with cancer and so far the treatments havent been doing much good and the outlook is bleak. When I ask my friend how her mother is she will say no change etc. When I ask her how she is holding up she will say she's fine but then she'll try to make light of it and I know that it must be very painful to be going through all this, especially since she has a younger brother to look after and she is a university student and also working and volunteering. I have never had to really deal with comforting someone who has a family member so ill. She is also a Catholic and I am an atheist; my mother is Muslim and when I told her my friend's mom was sick, my mother said that she will pray for her and she still does. My friend said she appreciated that very much from my mom. But what can I say to her? How can I be of help to her? And how can I comfort her if her mother's health continues to see no improvement? Thank you very much.
What can I say to comfort a friend whose sister just died?
There are so many things people say to the bereaved that don't help but only a few that do. I'm here for you, is a good one. I acknowledge your pain. I know you were close. Those things mean something. Also I'm here if you want to talk. At some point, help your friend remember the good times with their sister. If there was a favorite place to go or activity they shared with the deceased, encourage them to continue it. Get an inexpensive journal or sketchbook and write a couple of your favorite memories, and encourage your fried to add pictures, drawings, poem and of course memories. Make an online memorial with your friend. Or for themThe point is to remind them that death didn't erase the loved one. Also and very important, do things completely unrelated to your friends sister. After a couple of weeks, ask them to go to the mall or whatever you two do together. Remind them that life goes on by actions, not words.At some point your friend will ask when things will go back to normal. It won't, the world has changed. The task at hand is to rebuild a life where you can be happy, to honor the deceased. Their sister is dead and now they must live twice as joyfully as before. For her.
