My long time boyfriend's grandfather passes while he was in training for the Marin Corps, and he never had a chance to get through the situation. Now he is in Flordia for further training and I'm trying my best to put together a care package for him and any suggestions of books that may comfort him would be graciously accepted. I'm at a bit off a loss on the topic at the moment. Any poetry or prose that are more of "quick reads" that will help him in this time would be absolutly wonderful.

A book that was very helpful to me and had very short bits on dealing with your feeling was:
How to Survive the Loss of a Love by Peter McWilliams, Harold H. Bloomfield, and Melba Colgrove
It is very short and helped a lot.

Maybe you should let him do what he needs to do in his training first and then try to help him. He may be putting grief on hold and for good reason. He may also be grieving privately as many men do, in his own way and manner.
