["You know, I find it difficult to respond to certain situations. Like when my friend's dog died, I just didn't know what to say to him.", "Yeah, been there done that. You want to comfort them but you don't know what to do/say", "Yea, exactly. What's worse is that it really affected him, the dog was like a brother to him. Weeks turned into months and you could tell it was still eating away at him. I wish life could be easier."]
I hope he feels better and you could be there for him too!
One time my friend was telling me about his dog dying. He took it real hard and still wasn't over it after weeks had gone by. It just sucked seeing him so hurt.
