Is grief the price of love, or is it the proof that love was real?

A close friend of mine passed away in an accident. His wife is inconsolable, completely shattered by the loss. I don’t know what words can truly comfort her. All I can do is stay by her side and let her know she isn’t alone. Beyond that, I’m unsure what else I can do.

Just be there for her. Find out if she has any other help as far as procuring food goes, and maybe send her a nice meal every so often (even if it is just a takeaway or an extra portion from whatever you're eating). Sometimes, finding the desire to eat can be impossible after death, so having a ready made meal show up can be nice.

@HootyTheNightOwl True. That’s very thoughtful.
