...Those of you who know me probably know about Norianna.
No more than an hour ago...I found out something....rather...upsetting.
...Her mother died today.
...I don't know how I feel about it. I really don't.
I acknowledge it. But...I don't...feel the way I think I should. I feel sad...but...I...I don't know.

"You'll never forgive me? Like I give a damn."
"You got a jacked up notion of fair play pal...and it's beginning to piss me off."
"Though a fight every now and again does make life a little more interesting...dontcha think?"
^ This isn't dead, I swear!
Most of my closest friends have qualities that I despise. But I love them all regardless of their faults.
"Why are we trying to narrow God's mercy? I didn't realize there was a limit to how many people could go to heaven."

I don't really know you, so I really don't know who Norianna is or what her relation to you is.

If you don't know Norianna's mother too well, it's hard to get worked up emotionally. Remember Dunbar's number in this aspect: you can recognize about 150 people as human at a maximum. Past that, you don't see them as human and it's hard (Dunbar would declare impossible) to develop emotional attachment.
Think of it this way - every day people die of gunshot wounds. We can't legitimately mourn the loss of each one.
What I would certainly do is acknowledge the loss and understand exactly how difficult a time it may be for Norianna. If it helps, think how you'd feel about the loss of one of your parents. Past that, think of what exactly Norianna would want and how you can provide that support, if needed. I don't claim to know a lot about the person you're referring to, so if it's "just be there", do so...if it's "spend time together and keep things light", go with that. Certainly don't force things or go over/under that expectation.

Norianna is his girlfriend, IIRC. (I say "IIRC" because I've messed up things I thought I was sure of before... like Arim's name)
I'm sorry to hear that, dude. It's a tough loss, and yet at the same time it's not fully your own so you might feel like you should be sad more than you really are, or something. Ultimately, you have to work it out on your own... sorry I didn't see this until now, been kinda hiding from the forums a bit.
