  I heard a great podcast with Frank Ostaseski where the talked about how isolating death is. No one wants to bring up what happened because it may upset you (spoiler: you are already upset) and you don’t want to burden others by talking about. This traps you into dealing with it alone. I think the best thing you can do is just be available. Tell them you are genuinely want to listen if they want to talk about it. Perhaps make the offer again in a few weeks when others have moved on. No pressure, just be open to listening. Most of us just want to be heard
