When a friend's mum or dad dies: what to say and do, sentence 1

Picture Grace on the day Lily comes back to school after her mum died: Grace does not make a speech, she says «I'm sorry, I'm here if you want to talk», sits next to Lily at lunch, and then just carries on being a normal friend.

Who acts: Picture Grace, mum, Grace, you · What happens: come back, die, not make, say, be, want · To what, where: school, speech, Lily, lunch · Speech: someone speaks here
