Condolences to you, my friend

Hearing that my friend just lost his mother is making me sad too.

Didn't know how to comfort him. As frankly as I can be, I told him I do not how how to comfort him.

The only thing I can do is by not asking about the details.

If something bad happen to me, the last thing that I want is having thousands of question shoot towards me. 

Letting him know I am here if he wants to talk is the best thing I can do as a friend.

I won't say I understand how he felt, because I am not a liar. Only someone who lost their parents will understand how my friend is feeling now.

My friend, you can be sad, but don't be sad for too long. Your mother would want you to be happy.

Take care, my friend.

Sorry about your friend. Yes, it's better not to question so much, instead just be there for him.

yeah i think the best way is to give him mental support.. it takes time for him to get over this, you just need to let him know you're by his side.. :)

Think your presence there without saying a word is good enough to make him feel better and probably a hug may help.

He does not stay in the same town as I am. He knows he can call whenever he wants. I am always there virtually.

Sorry to hear of the sad news of the demise of you friend's beloved mother. Yeah guess its ok as he knows you are there for him virtually and that gives him the 'strength'.
