I don't deal very well with death, not that anyone does, but I have a very hard time grieving, and unfortunately he is like me that way. I keep encouraging him to talk about it,but I dont want to hound him either. I just don't want it to eat at him like it has me when I have lost people close to me. |
He's lucky to have someone who understands his thought process so well. I bet you will be such a help getting him through this. I know you don't need to be told this but just trust yourself. Sending hugs.
