how do you comfort a loved one?

A person who's very dear to me has lost a loved one. But I've no idea how to comfort him and make him feel less painful. Should I sit down and cry with him as I'm feeling sad too? Or should I try to be as cheerful and make him laugh so that he will brighten up a little, at least a little?

  1. being there is the most important.
    and once you are there, your heart will show you the way.
    tears will flow.
    tears need to flow.
    smiles and laughter will return naturally
    the happy memories of the loved one are not lost
    maybe they are just hiding behind the tears and sadness
    but once again,
    let the tears flow
