What a great friend you are, even to have the wisdom to ask. There will be a lot of initial "activity" for your friend: the funeral and family and friends who are grieving along with him, people coming and going, bringing food or flowers. You can help him manage any of this influx of cards, food, etc. as he may not have the emotional or literal capacity to deal with it. You don't have to ask him what to do, just do it. Anything you contribute that is practical will be merciful and helpful. Then, all the hubbub pretty much stops and your friend is left by himself alone with his grief, yet others have moved on. Walking the cancer path with a LO is traumatizing. My suggestion is to intentionally and actively be there for him in the months after everyone else has "moved on". May you receive wisdom and he receive peace in his heart.

Just be there for him.

Right now just having a loving presence that doesn't require talk or putting on a happy face is really important.

I am sorry for your friends loss. It is difficult to lose a parent suddenly, may The Lord give you all grieving mercies and strength.
