Iranian Actor, Director Atila Pesyani Dies at 66

If you can, try to let the bereaved person feel like they are in a safe place and can express how they're feeling without being judged. Their emotions may range from sadness to more unexpected emotions like anger. Respect how they feel. If they say they're relieved that the person has died, do not argue against that and insist they must be sad.

Being able to express emotions is a very important part of the grieving process, but try not to force someone to talk, or share, if that's not what they want to do. They may want to talk later, or they may express their emotions in other ways. For example, by writing their feelings down, or by seeing a therapist, or through painting, or gardening, or through having time to think through their feelings when going for a walk, or a run.
