You are the ethicist!

"When a dear friend’s teenage daughter was killed in a car accident, she understandably could not bring herself to erase her daughter’s message from the family phone. That was seven years ago. My friend still hasn’t changed the message, and I find it very discomforting to hear the deceased girl’s voice every time I call. My friend says, ‘‘It’s all I have left.’’ I want to be supportive, but I worry that preserving her daughter’s voice for every caller — be it a friend or a plumber — is unhealthy. Should I say something?"

How would you answer this? How do you support a grieving friend?

Here is how the ethicist answered:
