My grandma (71) just lost one of her best friends. (70ish) What can I (21F) do to help make this grief more bearable?

My grandma has been best friends with a couple for over ten years now. They see each other several times a week, spend major holidays together, ect. Just last night she got a call that the husband unexpectedly passed away. She is an absolute mess. I've been lucky enough to never experience any loss so far aside from a couple distant relatives, so I have no idea how to help her through her grief. My grandma is one of my best friends and has been there for me for most of my life. It feels insincere and not enough to shoot her a text or call to say "thinking of you." I know I cant really "make it better" because unfortunately she has to grieve on her own timeframe, but is there any way I can help make the pain slightly more bearable?

Tl;dr: Grandma's best friend died unexpectedly last night. How can I help make her grief more bearable?
