I'll stand by You

Sometimes, words won't cut it, so I think you're doing an excellent job in helping him get through this whole ordeal. Just continue on making him feel that he's not alone, and he'll surely find it easier to deal with the situation. :)

Listening may feel that you're not doing anything for the guy, but I think that is more than enough. Just being there, listening to what he has to say would be enough. There are things in life where we can't really control, and all we would like to really have is someone who has the time to be with us in our time of need. I think he appreciates you for that. Keep it coming girl.

Hi jess07, Your boyfriend is really struggling with the pain of losing his best friend; is has been two years and he still feels very sad. We do miss our loved ones and friend when the pass away, but we have to find a way to move on with life without them, which can be a more difficult thing to do for some people. Friends and family will have to be patient with the individual that is suffering long-term. Professional help may be needed to help them cope with the lost. If they don't receive help they could go into a deep depression and worse. You are being a good friend to your boyfriend, just because you are there for him and helping him cope as well as you can. But, remember you can only help him to a point. Time will also help heal his broken heart.

Hi Jess, I think you are doing exactly the right thing and just being there for your boyfriend, holding him and listening to him .You can't take this pain away from him or carry it, but you can ease it for him by letting him talk..this in itself is therapy for him and you are being a great support to him.

I think your boyfriend is facing with a hard time, you should give him comfort.there are some things that we never change in the world ,once it happened.so you should help him escape that situation.True friend is a bit difficult to find , but we have to try to accept some facts.Make him busy so that he probablely have no time to think about this thing.wish you have a good life ,good luck

Hi Jess,I know you have had a tough time.Needless to say,it is really hard for one to witness the person you deeply loved to plunge into depression. So I suggest maybe you should talk to him more about his feeling than yours.You know,when one is in low-heart,the best way to keep him from depression is to let him release his presure.For instance,crying and talking work effectively all the time for most of us. If you love him deeply and want to help him,in my view,you might give him a shoulder when he crys and lend you ears when he need to pour out his heart as well.

You should just comfort him and be there for him as much as possible. I hope that he can open up to you and not keep you shut out all of the time. I have never been through this before. But if I was, I would show my love and concern all of the time for him.

Sometimes comforting is all a grieving person needs, as when they are down about it nothing really comforts. So continue to be there and next opportunity you get let him know that you really care for him and that your silence purely means allowing him time to grieve and that you will always be there for him.

a reassuring love is all that it takes for him to realize that no matter what he is going through, you will always be there to stand by him. suggest to him that you go out and take sometime off from work. help him do other things that would occupy his mind.

Although I do not experience this, I have read stories like this. The most important thing, I think is to help him find the point of life. As a man, he has responsibilities for so many people. You should try to let him know this. A responsible man will not live in the past. And I recommend you a TV play, "The Snow Queen", a Korea one. In the play, the chief actor lose his best friend in his high school, and his girl friend help him recover the confidence to life.
