A member asked:

What should i do to help someone get over a death of a father?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just be there: A grieving person needs time and loving support to get over a loss of someone as important as a parent. Just spend time sitting with her. Encourage her to talk about her father as much as she wants. Don't ask that she stop crying. Crying is a release. Remind your friend that her father lives on in spirit and will never stop loving her.
