Anyway, this is about your boyfriend and you. One thing people don't realize is that being there for someone does not have to mean that you come up with the verbal answer that will make someone feel better. Words are hollow. It's our actions that are most remembered. The best way, I've found, to help someone is to keep them busy. Go to the movies, parties, hiking, swimming, or simply hanging out at the favorite spot. Let him be in control of the subjects y'all talked about and you don't always have to be talking either. Sometimes the most intimate moments are those when two people can just be together w/o saying anything at all. It's their presence that is most important to us. If he doesn't feel like hanging at times don't take it to heart. Sometimes people need their space during times like this. Simply tell him you will be there if he needs you. If he doesn't call you for a day or 2, don't get angry. Respond w/how are YOU doing? I've been concerned about you. That kind of thing. He'll get that you are coming from a true place of concern and love. The fact that you back off and let him be what he needs to be will carry a whole lot of weight. I wish you luck in all of this. I know how tough this has to be for you. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you on your journey, whatever happens, no matter how bad it may appear at this time, these things that have happened lately will help you become a stronger, smarter, and more insightful person. Just don't let yourself loose the love. Become aware that Love is all around you, all of the time, coming for more people that any of us are willing to see. Open yourself up to that love and take notice of other kinds of love you can draw upon to help you through this dark period of your life. Good Luck!
