how to comfort him.


Question Posted Tuesday August 12 2008, 8:57 pm

i dated my ex for a year and a half. he was my first love & my everything. now we're still really good friends, but closer than most would be i guess because we have that history. on saturday his 3 month old nephew died. they didnt know how, and today the results came back and said heart complications and SIDS. he's taking it really hard, and im doing everything i can to be there for him, but i dont know what to say? he was always there for me & now i feel like im not doing a good job at being there for him. i've told him im always here for him if he needs me, that im sorry, and that he's in a better place & now God's got him and he's watching over them all. but it just feels like it's not enough. what can i do? he's really crushed.

It's tough sometimes to find the right words to say. Just pray that God comforts him THROUGH you. Because alone, it's hard to help a situation like that. Ask God for the words to say to help him through this time. Pray with him if he's comfortable with it. Encourage him to read the Bible. Grieving is a normal process and it takes time no matter who tries to help out. He will eventually get closer to normal, it may take a while though. I will be praying for him.

Aww im so so sorry. Thats so sad. Truthfully you've done everything you can. Just continue to stay with him and lend out a hand. He knows your there. Just stay with him and listen to him, he really needs a friend.

I know this must be really hard, I will pray for him and his family.

Let God intervene, he will save. Also, listen to the song "Held" by Natalie Grant, it shoul dhelp you guys. I'm so sorry,


At least the nephews in a better place.

God Bless!
