flower girl agony auntSo sorry to hear that, he must be in an awful mess right now, you could go round and see him give him a hug and if he wants to talk about her just listen he obviously could really do with you being around at the moment seen as he has contacted you so soon after it had happened.

You don't need to say anything just being there i'm sure will be huge comfort to him.

Take care.xx.

AskEve agony auntI'm so sorry to hear she died. I remember your last post, in fact I think I gave you advice on it. Let him know you're there for him and let him know how sorry you are to hear such bad news. If there is anything you can do for him or the family to let you know. It might also be a good idea to let him know if he wants to chat to you about it then he can text, call, email etc.

Everything will be very numb for him just now, it will take a couple of days to actually sink in. Just because she's died doesn't mean you can't talk about her though. If he does contact you again then ask him about her, he'll enjoy talking about her and telling you about her great qualities and times that are memorable to him. Just listen and let him talk. It will be very raw just now but time IS a great healer, (talking from experience here...)
