DS is 23 and has just heard that his bf jumped off a building yesterday. What makes it worse for him is that we moved 200 miles away so all the friends who have just had the news are together, while he is dealing with the shock on his own.
He met me at work today and just collapsed in my arms. He was shaking and says his head is all over the place.
I remember going through exactly the same feelings and emotions when my dad died unexpectedly so I was able to talk to him, but I'm worried about him. He really wants to race off back there but I've told him there's nothing he can do and to wait for the funeral. Obviously only time will sort him out but is there anything I can do/ should do in the meantime? He lives with his brother & sister rather than with us and they are both trying their best.
