what do you say to a girlfriend who's dad just died?

That's a really hard one. Say what comes from your heart. That will mean more than what others tell you to say.

Of course you give her proper condolences but more importantly, let her know, you are here for her, all the time she needs and unconditional love.

I’m sorry for her and her families loss.

thank you everyone, I really appreciate it, sorry for not responding individually, I'm just too absorbed into what is happening.

Aww just be there for her as much as she needs you too ..but give her space to grieve too ..keep the lines of communication open as well

[c=004A59]Say just that -- you're at a loss for words and just wish you could hold her right now. Sometimes words get in the way.[/c]

Be there to comfort, not too much you can say honestly. Grief is a process and everyone deals with it differently.

Tell her that you offer your condolences, then ask her how she' doing.
