He's my best friend… his older brother died in a skiing accident what am i supposed to say to him?
It is always SO hard to know what to say…but here's the deal..your good friends know that you love them. Try this. As you approach him, Just hold out your arms and hug him. Let him hug you as long as he wants. Your friend realizes that this situation is "hard for you" too..but he'll just appreciate knowing that you care. Don't mean to sound like a Hallmark card, but I gave up saying "things" a few years ago. Now, I just look at the person in the eyes and give them a hug. If tears come..so what? We're only human. You'll do the right thing.

Walk it off. Quit being such a sour puss.

Sometimes just being there is the best thing someone in your position can do. If you find yourself unsure of what to say then its quite probable that you and your friend's relationship does not require verbal affirmation. True Friendship often asserts itself without input when the situation requires it.
