how can i help my friend?
hi i'm in 8th grade and a girl anyway i have this best guy friend who's in 8th grade too and ive known him for about 8 months now. he has suffered 3 losses. (his grandma, grandpa, & uncle) he told me he was close to his grandparents. im not exactly sure how long ago they passed away but i know it's not very recent. he is a good guy and seems happy but he's told me that sometimes his smiles are fake. it's like he hides his real emotions sometimes from everyone else except me. he has said that i've brought out the “emo” in him. i guess cuz he's never had an emo friend before. but it's not like im sad all the time. and he like hides himself in a glass case and somehow i manged to get through it quite easily. my question is though how can i help him through his losses? i personally haven't lost a loved one yet and dont exactly how it feels but i can only try and imagine half of how it feels. i would really appreciate some advice for how to help him get through this thanks. -sorry this was long

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Just sit him down and tell him to tell you how he feels let him open up to you and express his feelings letting go of emotions is the best way to get over losing someone so make him do that and encourage him to move on and think of his future and not his past and explain to him that in life your going to lose a lot of people but thats just a part of life you have to be strong and deal with it or else you will completely break down.
