How would you help somebody through a loss in the family?

defo difficult situation but maybe u have to bite the bullet, just go up to them & just say - if u ever need to talk just let me know, i am here for u - actually sometimes that's all people need, just knowing u are there is enough... just see what happens then.... People heal at different times & 3 losses in a short period of time is horrible! I hope they heal well & are lucky to have u to help!

just be there... try to be in their life... you dont have to say anything, sometimes just being present is enough to be comforting..
I went through this with my ex. a year after we started living together her father became ill and passed, a year later her mother died very suddenly without warningg of a massive heart attack ....
she was inconsolable for many months but i was there to sit with her, hold her when she cried and just be available for her... it wasn't easy but it was all i could do.

Another idea besides the comment I have posted just before, I think, would be helpful too by showing compassion by bringing cooked food leftovers. Once in a while, not too often. But I'd choose the first option most of all, if they need anything specific, you can be there for them as a friend. Though I'd also recommend trauma therapy by a professional. Losing 3 people in such a short time.. I think can do lots of psychological damage.. (put don't ever tell them that this same way please, that last line).

You can, I think, simply be there for them by saying "If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know. I'll be there when you need me."

Definitely let them know you're there for them whatever happens, and you're always open if they want to talk.

Ask them if there is something you can do. Spend time with your closest friend there.

Tell them you are there for them if they need you...

Just be there as a friend. Don't try to force them to bring up the ones they've lost, but listen attentively when they do.
