hi, my best friends dad died 10 days ago and his funeral was yesterday and it was heartbreaking for me let alone my friend.
the thing is my friend [who is male] and i are so close as we have been like brother and sister for over 20 years and it is breaking me in two to watch him cry.

he has a 1 year old son and a girlfriend who he loves dearly but since losing his dad so suddenly my friend had rejected them and is pouring his heart down in the pub.

yesterday was his dads funeral and yeah he had a good drink but then went missing and was later found at his dads graveside fast asleep......breaks my heart.

how can i help him, and get him on track with his girlfriend and son, i would hate for her to be pushed away so much that it makes her angry and leaves him. she feels all alone and is so upset for him, but there is only so much she can take.

please help me to find a solution.

lucykatie, did it all work out?

lucykatie · 13/12/2005 11:23

ah thanks so much for asking, thats really touched me. thenks

yeah he is doing ok really, a few little mis-haps but to be expected.
he actually went to church on sunday with his family and they had arranged to light a candle for his dad, this candle remains alight for the whole of the christmas season....so lovely.

his gf has collected from loads of people all sorts of lovely photos of him and his dad and put them in an album for christmas.

things are ok, i am sure time will bring some sad times but he is back on the straight and narrow.
