Well truly we will all experience some loss in a bad situation, and knowing how you and others deal with loss is an important thing.
Understand that everyone "deals" with stuff like that differently. Wherein you "think" someone should be sitting crying, they may deal with it by digging into work- let them and don't sit and backbite them about it. If you sense the "give me space" feeling, then damn well give them space. If you feel them becoming a little clingy, then deal with it, it will pass in a while.
The "if you need anything I'll be there" talk is usually just BS. Your true friends will show up, they will prove themselves.
They will be stressed out, probably won't make the best decisions. They will need some rest, a quiet place if possible. If they feel like talking, let them talk, if they want to be alone, give them some space. "Smothering" is usually not a good idea unless they are a cling-on type.
