Give them space if they need it. Sometimes a best friend going through a tough time, like losing a family member, might want to be alone at first. But always let them know you're around. Send them little notes or texts saying you care. And when they're ready, be ready to talk and support them fully.
Just be there for them. Listen. For example, if they're sad because of a breakup, let them pour out their feelings without interruption.
Let them talk it out. Sometimes just getting their feelings off their chest helps.
A frequent theme in best friend sad stories is loss. This could be the loss of a friendship due to a move. If one friend has to relocate to a different city or country, it can put a great strain on the friendship and often leads to its end. Unresolved conflicts are also common. When friends have an argument and neither is willing to make the first move to resolve it, the relationship can become sad and distant.
There's the story of two best friends who had a huge fight over a misunderstanding. Jake and Tom were besties. Tom thought Jake had told his secret to someone else, but Jake hadn't. They didn't talk for months. Tom felt betrayed and Jake was hurt that Tom didn't trust him. It was really sad to see their friendship in tatters.
You can simply be there for your friend. Listen to them without interrupting. Give them a big hug if they are comfortable with it.
My best friend and I grew up together. We were like sisters. One day, she found out that her family was moving across the country. We were both devastated. We promised to keep in touch, but as time passed, we grew apart. The distance and new lives we were leading made it hard to maintain the closeness we once had. It's still a very sad memory for me.
Once, my best friend got a great job opportunity in another country. We knew we'd be separated by a huge distance. We cried at the airport. It was so sad because we had so many memories together.

Once, my best friend and I planned a big trip for months. But a week before, she got really sick and couldn't go. I went alone, but it wasn't the same. Every beautiful view made me think of her, and I felt so lonely. It was a trip full of sadness instead of joy.
