person A: My mom_comma_ who's in her 60s_comma_ lost her best friend today_comma_ who passed away. She was one of the only friends my mother had_comma_ and I feel sad for her since she lost a connection to her childhood and past. She seems really lonely.
person B: I'm so sorry to hear that. It's hard losing someone that dear to her. I hope she opens herself up to healing.
person A: Yeah_comma_ just doesn't feel like there's much to offer her. I'm also not living close_comma_ so I can only have phone conversations with her_comma_ which_comma_ again_comma_ doesn't offer much. She's a good person_comma_ so I hate to see her so bent out of shape
person B: It's gonna take some time_comma_ and I'm sure those phone calls help more than you think.
