Sorry about your nephew. That is really sad. He must be hurting so much inside. Why don't you spend some time with him alone. Tell his dad if you can approach him, that you would like to, that you are worried about him and would just like to do some things with him...then take him to a ball game, or fishing, or something that get's you close and let him know you love him and that you loved his mom and you want to be there for him. I think he needs to hear that someone knows how he feels and loves him, and that he can turn to you. Take him to church with you if he will go. Tell him you want to go with him to visit his mom's grave if he will go. Get him a book, a cd, an mp3...something that he can escape into in a positive way...no self help books...just somethign that will take his mind away.
My son had cancer this summer. It was really hard. He couldn't do much. What he learned to do however was play the guitar so well that he just blows everyone away now when they hear him. Sometimes they need a place to escape to with thier pain...or an outlet for it.
Chances are it hasn't even hit him yet as he is probably in shock...anger is usually the first emotion to emerge when the shock starts to wear off, then he will need a lot of support and understanding, and not more grief from others around him. I hope they are sympathetic his step family.

Just give him love and support, God will handle the rest.
Take Care

Get him therapy....and I mean fast!!!!!!!!!! Don't put it off. If he holds all of his emotions in side, he may commit suicide. You don't want that? That another grief.
