Yes, that can and does happen.

I believe so. I helped my best friend get through his dad's funeral.

Having a strong person who cares about you around in your time of mourning is really big. At 15, I dealt with my dad's death by myself. Nobody was there to really answer my questions. Having a good friend during that time would have been the difference for me.
