My grandpa died just a couple weeks ago. I found the best thing to do was simply stay quiet and to myself, and people who needed the comfort came to me while other people respected my silence and left me alone.

This was also helped because I gave a eulogy at his memorial mass (he was cremated, there was no funeral.) If you think people will see you as insensitive, and are a decent speaker, just ask if you can give a speech to your family about how much he meant to you. No one questioned me on whether or not I cared after they saw my presentation; rather they saw me as strong because I could keep a straight face as I spoke words of good times past.

Generally, it seems, people will be too busy grieving to themselves or about your lost one to really worry how you act. I'm sorry to here about the death, and I hope everything turns out alright.
