 you can't make anyone come out of a depression
sometimes even with situational depression medication is required till the body adjusts and takes over creating the right chemicals in the brain.
you can be a friend and listen and be there but strongly suggest medical treatment.

Hello...my classmate had to same problem when his best friend passed away.....He was extremely sad and couldn't concentrate on anything....His remorse was unbearable...Since you care for your friend you can do what we all did for him....We made a huge collage of the good times we had spent with our deceased friend....be it photographs, some things we shared...in short paid a tribute to him.....you can even ask you friend to speak up about the good times that were spent by them together.....You can personally talk to your troubled friend and tell him that his best buddy would be happy to see him smile....and I am sure you would see your friend smilling too..!!:-)..Best of luck

It's also important that the friend find things to do to take his/her mind off the death. Go out and do nice things together, whatever the friend normally likes. If it is actual depression, it helps to get some exercise, so walks in nature might be nice or other forms of exercise. The friend needs to keep in company as loneliness can make the problem worse.
There are counselling services you should be able to find in the phone directory which specialise in bereavment counselling. Your friend may find this helpful.

 I think you posted this question before. Your boyfriend's close female friend passed away and he was depressed. The best way is to opt for professional treatment, whether with a psychiatrist or psychologist.
