Just knowing you are there if she needs you will mean a lot to her even if she doesn't know how to express it at this time. Grief can take time. She may even need counseling to help her get through this. She is lucky to have a friend like you.

Hi gayleggg, that's exactly what I'll do! I'm going to email her later today and ask her how she's been lately and that I'm thinking about her. Like I said, I'm not really taking this personally. I just needed some answers as I've never dealt with this situation before with any friend.
What confused me the most if that she seemed so "normal" and upbeat like usual during our last few phone conversations. She talked about other things, she asked me how I'm doing, and she and I talked about both serious and non-serious issues as well. I haven't seen her since her dad died, so I have no idea of how she's really doing.
Even if I did, I'm sure that she would act like her usual upbeat and happy self again probably. For all I know, she could be hurting on the inside more than I realize. All I can do is just be there for her. I'll ask her again if she'd like to see a movie and go out to eat, but if she's not up for it, don't worry about it, we can always do this when you're up for it.
