How do you comfort a grieving football fan?

WOW, I need to find a gf like you, very sweet of you to do this research.  Truth of the matter is he just needs time.  A little space after the game and some time to realize that it is just a game and there is always next week.  BUT don't remind him of these points, he must realize them himself. =)

When I was 14, my basketball coach committed suicide. This guy was almost like a second dad to me. He drove me home from practices, fed the team after practices, very nice, really funny, someone that everyone liked. I was close to his family, my brother was best friends with his son, and his daughter was a year younger than me. It was really hard to get over him dying because of the closeness I had with that family. It took a lot of time and I still miss him. But time does heal most things, you wont ever forget your coach, but you eventually do accept that he is gone. Just always remember the good times you had, what your coach taught you, and apply everything to your life. I'm sure your coach taught you life lessons along with soccer skills. It did help that I kept in touch with the family and saw how they were doing. I did cry at his funeral, especially when I talked to the family. That by far was the toughest part. Never forget about your coach, and remember something good comes out of every situation, even death.

=I am sorry for the loss of your classmate. The guidance counselor is always there to help you as well as keep talking about it because it helps process the grief you are feeling.  Try to go to the wake and maybe the funeral with someone.  It would also be a nice gesture on your part to send the family a sympathy card telling them why their loved one was so special to you.  God Bless.

the best way to deal with the grief is to allow yourself plenty of time to heal.  There's no easy way to make it stop hurting, but just take one day at a time, remember how great you are and that you deserve better.  In time things will get better.  Good luck!

I am very sorry for you loss. Each person grieves differently and for various times. As each days passes it will hopefully get easier for you. Take care and I will keep you in my prayers.

Keep yourself busy doing something good for others and take it hour by hour. Time is the only thing that helps ease the grief-- but there will always be a part of you wishing for the happier moments with the one you lost.

Try to follow the tradition of the deceased's religion. It shows your respect for him or her. You might go and combine both colors carefully - e.g. your color of mourning is black, their color is white, wear something white with black accents.

Just be supportive to her, and comfort her. Hold her, tell her how much you love her. Be nice, comforting, and supportive.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Well i know how you feel i have gone through 4 loved ones deaths. It will be hard to go through, what i love to do was surround my self with friends and family, and remember the person who just passed on. ITs good to cry, makes you feel better. Sometimes writing can help. but i blive that friends and family around is the best thing, they can cheer you!!! I am praying for you and god bless you all. im so sorry!

Yours?  Get involved in something else.  Do not dwell on the past.\nA friend?  Listen.  Help keep their mind on something else.  Hugs do wonders.\nStay away from tear-jerker movies, songs and book.  Go for the light hearted.\nHearts can be broken, but they do heal.

Since you're at a loss for words, it appears you are attending to give your condolences to a friend.  Funerals in and of themselves serve as a last chance to say goodbye to someone we've lost on this earth and show support and concern for those who've been left behind during their loss.  To know that you're there is usually the kindest gesture you can make to those family members and if you're uncertain as to what to say it's best to keep it simple.  Offer your condolences, your assistance if they should need it and just let the moment occur.  I've learned, however, that a card or a brief note sent a couple of weeks afterwards will mean much more than you know as this is the most difficult time of adjustment after all the arrangements have been made and visits are over.  Just feel good that you're going, God will handle the rest.  You're a blessing.

Hey sweetie...we all grieve in our own way and  our own timing. You are not a horrible person, it is very normal the way you feel.  I Praying can give you and your family strength, it  helps to get through these times, even if you do not believe in God but a higher power.  Talking to whom ever is willing to listen helps with the grieving. You are entitled to feel whatever you are feeling and then know you will get past it.  A simple I love you MOM when she comes back will be enough...and you will find that words will come that you didn't even think of.  Bless you and your family.

Only thing that I can tell you is take it one day at a time. I just lost someone too so I know the feeling. I can't say it's going to get better but it will get easier. It is OK to cry and know that the one that you lost is still with you even in death and they are also watching over you. Cat it will be OK in do time just ask God to take away the pain and then you will see that you will start to feel better one day at a time. God Bless You and I'm sorry for your lost.
