my friend jim is really upset. its because his dad has lung cancer and it doesnt look too good. also his brother got hit by a car today and his leg is definitly demolished. and he saw his brother totally covered in blood and everything. some of the things he says put me in such a terrible position too. he literally says he wants to die. and i dont even know how to react.
can someone help me figure out what to say to my best friend? thank you (link)

Hi, this must be a very painful time for him. I know that if his dad does die he could have thoughts on suicide. However if you encourage him to hang in there he will get through it in time. Give him a shoulder to cry on and check up on him now and again to see how he is feeling. If hes suffering from Depression then the best people to go and see about it is a Cousellor, Psychologist or Psychiatrist. What do they do?:
Counsellor: give advice on how to handle it, and might refer him to some experts in this field of subject.
Psychologist: trained to know about different behavours and will give him proffesional advice on how to handle it.
Psychiatrist: Knows how the mind works, and could put him on anti-depressent tablets and will have a chat to him about it.
Any of these 3 are very helpful to talk to and could work together on it. My advice to you is to be there for him when he needs you the most. Im not asking you to abandon your life to help him but to just be there for him when it hurts the most, if you know what I mean. Get back to me about this one. Daniel.
