you can just be there for him and let him know that you are there for him to talk to and that you love him.

Great advice already, so I will just add that he may want space...or not. Ask him. Ask him if he needs to spend some time alone, with other guy friends, his family whatever...and let him deal with his feelings. Also, it sounds like you are already being very supportive and caring...he is lucky to have you.

The only thing which you can do is to make sure that you're there for him. Comfort him and remind him of the happy times which he spent with him. Don't allow him to dwell on unhappy thoughts.
I'm not so sure as to what you mean as 'their names' but i'm assuming that he's using different people to blame his friend's death (do say if i'm wrong). If that's the case, tell him that it was nobodies fault, it just happened and no amount of blaming will change that.

I hope this helped,
triquetra

I am sorry for his loss. I know how hard it can be to lose someone you care about. You need to sit him down and let him know that doing stupid things is not going to bring them back. Also, let him know that you are there for him. Tell him that if he needs to talk then youll be there to listen. He really needs to talk about it. Doing stupid things and keeping it bottled up is not going to make things better. Talking is the best way to help him right now. If that doesnt work then I suggest you to persuade him to go and speak with a grief counselor. They are specialized in that and they know exactly how to help. You can usually find them in your local area. Sometimes regular counselors can also help if he is not willing to talk to you. Good Luck and i hope this will help you out

i know it is frustrating for you because you wish you can help and make everything better again, but the truth is the best thing you can do is be there for support. losing a friend is really hard, so it will take him time to get through this. just be very sensitive to his feelings and think about how hard it would be if you lost your friends. let him know you are always there to talk, and you are here for him. it will mean a lot and just being extra sensitive and sweet will mean a lot to him
