Dealing with death at a young age sucks. I unfortantely know from experience. It's tough because sometimes people want to talk about it and you don't, and also sometimes you want to talk about it sometimes when other's don't. And then of course conversations get awkward because everyone tries too hard not to say the wrong thing but that usually makes it worse. It's just a tough, emotionally tense time. The best thing you might you try to give them is a sense of normalcy but certainly be there for them as needed.
