What do I do?

A friend's father has just died of cancer. I've been there but I still have no clue what to say as I know none of it will mean anything to him. It's nice to know that people care and haven't forgotten you and your grief but the offers of someone being around to listen aren't any help. Talking just doesn't happen. I know what lies ahead for him and his family and it's not going to be easy. Everyone else will have their own troubles and their lives won't stop. It will probably be months before he can go a day without thinking "my dad's dead". His experience won't be the same as mine and I can't help him at all. I feel helpless. I feel for him and his family but what's the good of saying so? They'll be getting a hundred messages like that and not one of them will mean anything. I don't know what to do.
