How would you help your boyfriend when his mom just died?

Question

My boyfriends mom just died yesterday. He tells everyone he doesn't want anybodies sympathy. I want to help so bad, and I have no clue what to do. The funeral is tomorrow, and I'm going for him. Please help me out here. And also pray for his family. Thanks.

Answer 1

All you can do is just be there when he's ready to talk about his feelings.

Sorry for your loss.

Answer 2

sorry to hear about the lost!

Just ask him if he needs any help with arrangments and or anything with packing up and caring for anything!

and just be there for him!

don't give him sympathy he says he doesn't want it!

but maybe you can help him sort through mom's stuff, call any bill collectors and mail out death certficate..  ect he might need help with any of that!

Good luck!

Answer 3

I am very sorry to hear that. I think the best way would be to show him your support and try to comfort him as much as you can. showing him that you care would mean a lot to him at a time like this.

Answer 4

Just be there with him the best you can. I know it will be hard but if he doesnt go to the funeral he will wish he did later down the road. Its not sympathy its just being a good girlfriend and friend if youre by his side. And I will pray for him and his family. :)

Answer 5

Give him a hug and hold him close. Actions speak louder than words.
