His sister died yesterday morning early in her sleepfrom lung cancer. He is about the only one in his family that went to see her on a regular basis. Now while all of the family needs to break down he is expected to be the strong one and help everyone else. And unselfishly he will do that with no chance to break down himself. Since I am not trying to change him, or how he deals with his family and friends, HOW CAN I HELP HIM? I am out of town on business right now, and I'd really want to show him I can be strong for him and stand beside him even though I cannot be there? I have sent him a beautiful sympathy card. Should I send more throughout the day in e-mail and what can I say or do to let him know that I am offering him my help where he can be as sad or "weak" as he wishes? Oh he is 6'3 and big, like a football player so he has a very hard time paying attention to his own emotional needs, So you can see why I am having a hard time with this. PLEASE HELP! ♥♥ Thank You!
