| [slm] My best friend (K. who is not Muslim, and just also happens to be my clinical partner) just told me that her died passed away...we sat on the phone for a long time after we had discussed what I could do for her etc etc, just being quiet :'( I really didn't know what to say... I will be able to see her only tomorrow, any advice? She is an extremely strong person, who is now literally the "head" of the household, as mom and older brother are away in Europe. They will be on their way back home soon. Her little brother is not taking things well at all, of course:( Oh, and did I mention that she has finals, just like me very soon? ?? :( And that her dad won't see her graduate? Wasalam Shahida |

| [slm] I don't know Shahida, but these things take time and usually are a solitary experience. Just be there for her when she wants to talk about it. Try to make things easy on her. Take care wassalam Mona |

| [slm] Maybe invite her to your home with your family for dinner. Make her feel welcome and that she belongs. Insha'Allah one day she will see the beauty in Islam. |

| [slm] Just listen if she needs to talk. And basically dont push yourself to do anything because sometimes the person just needs to reflect on their own. Call her up from time to time to check up and stuff...be a friend..but not too much. be well |
