Pls give advice on how to move on from this?

this is for my friend.He loevd his girlfriend so much and they were always so sweet to each other.They often refer to themselves as soulmates.Las month the unthinkable happened,she died in a car accident.He became depressed and his life is spinning out of control.Ive tried comforting him but it still wont work.He is melancholic and acts as if its like the end of the world for him.What do else do you think I shoul ddo as a concerned friend to help him?





p.s at times he doesnt talk to me as if he's in his own world.he lost his personality and is having a whole lot of a hard time moving onPls give advice on how to move on from this?
I don't think that his girlfriend would want him to live his life this way. You should tell him that. Make sure he knows that you are always there for him, should he need anything. Then give him his space.





P.S.


If you think he's suicidal, make sure that he seeks professional help. If necessary, do it with him.Pls give advice on how to move on from this?
please talk to him maybe u can get a counselor for him and you can go with him please let his family know what is going on with him i really need help too i think about committee suicide to because of going through a breakup
He needs to seek professional counselling. Its great that you are supportive to your friend and please keep that up.. the loss of a loved one is very hard on a person. Just always be an ear for him to listen. I find that men have more trouble opening up then women.. but he needs to speak to a professional and quick to help ease the pain.





It won't be quick but at least its a start
Time will heal.....give him his space....and make sure he is seeking professional help.
Tell him that his gf wouldn't like he becoming so depressed and sad. Try to meet him beautiful girls.
that is so awful.


i'm so sorry your friend has to deal with this!


just give him a little time, he obviously loved her.


don't try to push him, he needs to recover by himself.





how would you react in this situation?


i would probably act in a similar way as your friend.





i understand that you want him to be himself again, but it's hard for him right now. eventually he'll move on, you just have to wait.
That is sooo tragic! I feel so bad. Um... basically I recommend him going to a psychiatrist. They can help him with something like this. If he becomes more depressed, he might commit suicide or something. You need to take action now before he does something stupid. I had a friend that was exactly the same way, so I should know.
Well, it has only been a month so it is going to take a long time for him to be himself again. The best you can do is just be there in case he needs a shoulder to cry on or just someone to talk to. Losing someone is the most painful thing you can go through. Give him time.
He needs therapy. Having a supportive friend like you isn't enough to help him through this. Continue being a good friend but, try to get him to start seeing a proffessional. They're trained specifically for situations like this.





Good luck and I'm sorry about your friend's situation.
Suggest he go to a counselor to work through his grief. There are often free counselors who can help him learn to grieve in a positive way while reaffirming his committment to life. Be there for him. Even if he doesn't talk to you, your presence is still helpful. Let him grieve in his own way, even if it is not the way you would grieve. Bring food over to his house (he's probably not cooking), take him out to see a movie, anything low key is good. But definitely look for a resource in your area so he can get counseling.
