Well, your right. It's not funny because I've lost someone in my life to. Yes, talk to him about this and make sure to let him know that their is a reason this happened. Sometimes we might not know why but theirs always a good reason. Let him know that even though he can see or feel his parents around anymore that they'll always be in his heart and life watching over him. If you think he might commit suicide then make sure that you let someone know because chances are he might. Well, Good Luck.

I'm sorry 2 hear that. I can't imagine losing both of my parents in such a short period of time, or any loved ones. Death is always heard. I would definitely talk 2 him. Make sure he's alright, check on him. Visit him, call him, take him out for a bite 2 eat and let him know u're his friend & he can talk to you. Things are really difficult right now but they'll get better.

You are a good friend and that is what this young man needs right now. Talk to him. Tell him you are there for him for anything he needs. If you think he might be suicidal, watch him but get someone else to help you as well. Do you know anyone else in his family? The school counselor? Any teachers? Clergy? Sometimes all anyone needs is for someone just sit down and cry with them. Have hope little one.

Talking is always an option, but more than ever, be open to listening. It may be all that he needs right now. If you fear that he may indeed be suicidal you may want to inform another family member, clergy, counselor of your concerns. What he has been through is clearly devastating. Stand by him and be his friend, but don't think for a minute that you can take it all on your shoulders.

you should just be there for your friend. if he wants to talk about it let him know that you are there to listen, but don't pressure him into it. just keep an eye on him. if he has other family around and you get really concerned you could tak to them, but this will prob. upset him as well. just be there for him is about all you can really do. because he is not going to talk about it unitl he is ready.

you should definitely talk with him. it is horrible to loose one parent. and i can not imagine how hard it must be for him to have lost both in a week. he really needs a friend right now and i commend you for even thinking about being there for him.

Go talk to him, make him understand that he's not alone. He's got friends who's concerned about him and are willing to watch out for him.
