Hi y’all, I’m looking for advice how to or what to say to my nephew, he is 22, his best friend was shot and killed while he was just sitting in his car a few nights ago. He’s pretty decimated with grief, I don’t know what to say to him.
I think some of us here, lost friends, best friends, at a young age, and I wonder if you can help me know what I can say to him, please?
:/
It’s so sad and I don’t know if they have any suspects yet, but the cops are working on it, I think.
@Armchaircouch first off my condolences for what you and your nephew are having to go through. This is never an easy thing to process.
Everyone else has given you more or less what I would offer up, sans one last bit of advice.
One of my military buddies was the only person to ever stress to me this:
Grief isn't linear. It's okay if you have a day where you "laugh too soon" or cry "when you should be over it".
It was honestly one of the best bits of advice I ever got dn this subject.
And it’s so true, thank you for sharing this as well , ♥️ @Hobyrim
