how you cheer up your gf/bf

So i have been dating this girl for about a month now and a her grandmother just passed away i was wondering if you have any good ways to cheer her up and how do you cheer up your bf/gf

One a relative passes away is always painful.

To cheer her up, you need to be always there for her. I would suggest not to talk about her grandmother unless she brings it up, when she does help her remember the good times and remind her that she would like her to always smile and be happy. If she feels down just hold her and let her let go of her emotions until she calms down and looks for ways to keep her mind off the grief. Be her support and in time she will be very grateful for that

I have always been there for my friends, guy or girl in their moments of grief. I didn't do much, just stay there. My wife loved that of me when we first started dating years ago.

I went through an experience like that with my ex just over two years ago. It was her dad, he had a heart attack and was in a coma for a couple of months, came to but mentally was gone although he seemed to be progressing towards the end and then septic shock finnally got him. I know how hard it can be to console a loved one in their time of need....every step of the way and after. The best you can do is be a constant support system. This is the time to show just what your love is made of. Always be an open ear, a shoulder to cry on and have a gentle, genuine caring heart. Everyone handles loss different, but one thing is true, you will have to be the strength when she feels she has none. In a way, this can refine your love. When I say love, don't take it as just romantic, but true love and empathy for your fellow human.

I agree with the other posters. This is a very hard thing to handle, especially in a new relationship. Everyone wants to be consoled differently - some people want you to be proactive, some people want you to just be there for them - but nobody wants you to just abandon them in their time of need. It might be a good idea to tell her that you have been concerned about this, and ask her what she thinks might give her the most comfort at this time.

There is very little I think that will cheer them up if they recently lost a loved one in their family. You just need to be there for them. If you go somewhere together, take them somewhere they like. And if they just need time to think/grieve, I suppose you should let them have it. Losing somebody like a parent or a close grandparent is difficult. And I don't expect it to be an easy thing to cheer up from.

In my experience yes try to cheer her up with maybe a few gifts and hugs and nice words but the loss of a loved one is not something that can be gotten rid of. Help her indulge in her hobbies to take her mind off of it but this is a wound that time must heal.......my son.

She just had the funeral for her grandmother yesterday she is feeling down i have been staying by her side and trying to cheer her up

Keep doing that. Good job

There isn´t much you can do..it´s just a huge pain that no one can fix. The only thing you can do (which you did already) is staying by her side, being there for her. Try to distract her away from those negative thoughts.

There is no way to 'cheer' someone 'up' after experiencing a loss. Least of all, a loss of someone who means the world to that person. There are no right words. No perfect jokes. No profound acts of kindness or romance that are a 'surefire way to perk them up'. They're in mourning, and the one major thing I've learned from therapy is that the only way out, is through.

The only good thing you can do is be there for them. No words are needed. Just listen. Don't push them to talk about it. When they burst into tears at random things, it's probably because something reminded them of the person they lost, or the fact they lost them in the first place.

This is a tough time. It will take a very, very long time to get through. You're never really the same, you just become a different version of yourself. Loss shapes you in profound ways.
