Please give me some advice for my best friend for me to say to him. His DAD died from alcohol poison 2 nights ago and he won't speak at school. He just sits around crying. Can somebody tell me something to say to him.

You could try telling him that his dad is in a better place...

and that you're there for him if he wants to talk, but I think he just needs some time alone to grieve for now.

Re: You could try telling him that his dad is in a better place...


demonblitz ID:015373 2005/06/04 09:16:17
but hes buddhist.

Well, then find another way to phrase it that fits his religion...

just being there to talk to when he's ready to talk is the important thing.

Re: Well, then find another way to phrase it that fits his religion...


demonblitz ID:015373 2005/06/04 09:22:14
OK, thanks.....

no problem.

Ack! That's the ONE thing you shouldn't say. My computer teacher told me that on the day that I found out about my friend and it just made it worse.

well, it worked for me.

Well, I guess it just depends on how long it's been and who the person is.

People die....
One cannot change fate's hand of death....
So get used to death targeting anything it sets its sights on....

I don't think that's a particularly helpful statement at this point.

Heartless ID:013661 2005/06/04 09:15:25
Heh, I know....it's how I see death the way it is...

Re: I don't think that's a particularly helpful statement at this point.


demonblitz ID:015373 2005/06/04 09:18:11
Well your making it sound like it's an ant to it's colony. If one dies, no one cares. No, look at it this way, its a queen ant to it's colony. I mean even I cried.

Re: I don't think that's a particularly helpful statement at this point.


Heartless ID:013661 2005/06/04 09:20:07
Heh, I'm not like other people to do such....I have my own theories about life.

Re: I don't think that's a particularly helpful statement at this point.


demonblitz ID:015373 2005/06/04 09:21:08
Whatever.

Re: I don't think that's a particularly helpful statement at this point.


Heartless ID:013661 2005/06/04 09:22:25
People should accept the way death is....there is no eternality for humans...

Re: I don't think that's a particularly helpful statement at this point.


demonblitz ID:015373 2005/06/04 09:22:54
But his dad is only 47.

Re: I don't think that's a particularly helpful statement at this point.


Heartless ID:013661 2005/06/04 09:25:25
Age doesn't matter....accept death at random and sudden times....

The people who think so...


Dark Celestial Dragon ID:011103 2005/06/04 10:33:50
Have never had anyone extremely close to them die.

Re: The people who think so...


Heartless ID:013661 2005/06/04 12:02:41
Weaklings they are....
Those who cannot accept death, blinded by their own eternal love for another person....
They're weaklings to me....

Re: The people who think so...


Dark Celestial Dragon ID:011103 2005/06/04 12:19:43
I still say you don't understand. You're saying this now, but one day you really will understand. But hopefully not, because then that's a bad thing. >.>

Re: The people who think so...


Heartless ID:013661 2005/06/04 12:33:51
Heh, most of my closest ones already passed/moved away if that's what you're thinking....

Re: The people who think so...


Dark Celestial Dragon ID:011103 2005/06/04 12:36:07
Meh, nevermind..

It hurts at first, a lot...


Gigazubyte ID:015441 2005/06/04 23:35:59
that's like telling someone they're weak for losing an arm and not being able to manage without it right away. Sealing yourself off from emotions can get you through life in one piece, but it means depriving yourself of both the good times and one of our greatest strengths.

"that's like telling someone they're weak for losing an arm and not being able to manage without it right away."



Mentally, not physically.....

I know what you mean, and I say that there's little difference.

Just let him cry if he doesn't want anyone to bother him. People don't like to be felt sorry for when things like that happen. I should know... Besides, you're supposed to let it all out, especially if it's only been 2 days. It takes a LOT of time.
