I am not good when it comes to the topic of death. I lost all my grandparents before i was 6, and relatives and friends of my parents have been going at least 2x a year so i am well used to the thought of death. for the first time, it really hit me hard this week when my boyfriend and i attended his grandfathers wake. i think what made it really hard on me was the fact i knew what life my boyfriend grew up in. he has no biological parents, never knew his father and his mother passed of cancer 14 years ago. his step-father was abusive and he passed in a motorcycle accident. his grandfather and grandmother are the only ties he has to his mom. my boyfriend is not one to ever show emotion. in his line of work, he isnt suppose to show emotion. he had a breakdown at the funeral, he cant sleep, and im pretty sure he isnt eating much either. he has been very distant from me, to the point of not talking to me for days which is completely strange. what do i do? ive told him he can talk to me about anything, i told him i would just listen to what he has to say, he knows im there for him 24/7 but it doesnt seem like enough. what else can i do?

you need to give him time and when he is ready he will find you

take care
