Best Answer

When someone has lost a loved one, you really just want to let them know you're available as a friend, if they need to talk or cry or anything. Don't say something like "I know how you feel" because even if you have lost someone, everybody's experience is different!

Say something like, "I know this must be very hard for you," or "I'm so very sorry!"

Afterwards, don't just disappear thinking they'll call you if they're sad -- make a special point to be closer than normal for a year or so -- take them out to a movie or bring them on a family outing or just go hang out at their place and chat. People who are grieving usually feel lonely, and if you make an effort to be with them, it will help.

Why do you say like father like son?

"Like father like son" suggests a genetic link or similarity of behaviour or activity. The phrase can be either complimentary or derogatory. For example, someone who is particularly clever and whose father was/is also very smart could be described as "like father like son." On the other hand, let's imagine someone caught doctoring the books and whose father or family is/was also suspected of dishonesty could also be described as 'like father like son'

How can wars split up families?

Here is an example: Say a family has a mother, father, two sons and a daughter. The one son is married with a child. Both sons are in the army fighting a war somewhere and both get killed. The mother and father have lost 2 sons, the daughter 2 brother, the one sons wife a husband and a brother-in-law, and her baby a father and an uncle. Then the wife of the one deceased son might marry someone else and move far away. Now the mother and father have lost a grandson and daughter-in-law, the daughter an aunt and cousin. It is also not uncommon for a wife to leave her husband (for various reasons) while he is at war somewhere.
