 What can you say? Reality is what it is. If their religious at all, I'd sit and pray with them, or maybe read the bible with them. Just letting them know your their, that can provide more comfort than anything you can verbally say.

 I agree with Baby duck. Sometimes being there, hugging them, listening and comforting them is the only thing you can do in a situation like this. Naturally he will be feeling all over the place but just make sure you're supportive and there for him when he needs you. Don't worry if he begins to shut down or drift away. This may be his way of coping with the situation and it certainly doesn't mean your friendship has changed in any way. Just be as understandable as you can if he does not act as his usual self. I hope this has helped some what! Good luck and god bless your friend that he will come through from this! Miss C xx

 =( Your good friend is talking to you, so listen. If there is an awkward pause and you think you're supposed to say something, but you don't know what, say, "I don't know what to say." Your friendship has not changed, his situation has; be honest. You could tell him that you want to be supportive, but you don't know what he needs. He might say just being with him and listening is all he needs.
Best wishes to you both.
