Answer 1

quite often men work themselves to the bone... involve themselves so completely in their work because they believe that is what they need to do to show their family they care... they belive that is their role in life..

when suddenly through the children growing up.. and then death, divorce, or illness they no longer have a family to care for they no longer have a purpose in life..

if he can bring himself to become involved in someway in a community activity then he can once again find a purpose in lfe.. once again feel needed...and he will feel less lonely..

If he no longer works then think about what skills he gained while he was at work and encourage him to use these skills to help people less fortunate then him...

for instance if he worked with timber perhaps he could volunteer his skills with the Lions Club, Apex Club, or at a charitable organisation that uses those skills to help others... ie building shelters in parks, repairing homes of the elderly or incapacitated..

If he worked in an office then his administration skills could be put to use by a number of organisations...

if he worked in a factory then the skills he acquired there will be most useful too... there are a lot of organisations that have workshops for people who are disabled and they are ofte in factory type set ups and volunteers would always be appreciated.

if he was a farmer then perhaps he could teach young people about growing their own food... or animal care...

think about what he did do and then ring some charitable organisations and ask them how he could help... ring around lots of organisations make a list of which ones need what kind of help and take the list to him... tell him he is needed.. there is no one else to do it and his skills are valued...

working in a voluntary situation means he will be amongst other people and his skills will be valued... he will feel important again..

Answer 2

If he does nothing, he will stay lonely and may become depressed. This happens to people who retire quite a bit because they aren't being productive. The best thing to do is help people. Jesus said that there is more happiness in giving than in receiving, so the lonely man needs to give of his talents in some way. He could study the bible and become a teacher of it himself- then he could help others find true purpose in life. Or he could always volunteer at a library. You could also ask him to help you with something yourself- such as, "Can you teach me how you ____?" Whatever it is he might be good at, try to learn.

Answer 3

That is sad.He needs to join a club (cards pool or swimming etc )
or do some volunteer work or help a charity out.that way he will meet new people as well & he will start to feel better
you are a good friend to him you go with him to get him started.
but give him time to grieve also because that takes time & every one is different
I'm broken hearted over my doggie & other family members think i should be over it but i'm not & losing a love one is much much worse & can take a long time to heal
so just be a good ear for him because talking about it does help
in time he will get better
