My friend and his wife where in a car accident on the day there baby was due. The baby died that day in his arms..Three days later his wife died..My friend no longer cares about life.. He is angry and I think sometimes looks for ways to end his life.He has no concern for his own well-being.He has bonded with my 4 yr. old and has said she fills a void in his heart.My daughters father is'nt part of her life and my friend has been a positive male role modle for her. I don't see him smile hardley ever any more. And I am afraid he is going to give up on life.. I don't know what to do to help him.

beautifulxxbrunette08 agony auntwell i agree with aritstical bumblebee...really all you can do for your friend is let him know how much you appreciate him. of course this is very hard for him to cope with at the moment, but he has a better chance of getting through this with someone there than if he were alone and dealing with this all by himself. it will take some time, you just have to be there and try to help him get through this mental binding state. it may not seem like your helping him isn't doing anything, but you never know. maybe that 15 minutes a day with him will add another 'hope bead' onto that string...and sooner or later that string will be complete and it will turn into a useful necklace. good luck honey!

artistical_bumblebee agony auntyour friend is depressd and maybe he blames himself but i dont now what you can do neither reali alll you can do is offer support for him as you have and are doiing so however, if you do get reali worried go to a gp or a professional and seek them for further help. remember to always tell him how much you appreciate him he must be very fragile at the moment however he expresses it.
