I don't know about "God," but prayer does seem helpful. My husband
died about a year ago & I miss him EVERYDAY. I talk to him which makes
me laugh, but a friend here at our retirement residence does the same,
but she talks to her spouse's photo...... I imagine these heavenly husbands saying, "Boy, these women sure can talk alot, even when we are not on earth anymore."
Your friend should read some books on grief, which is different for each of us.
