I started dating this guy a month ago and just last week I asked him what he was getting his parents for Christmas and he told me that his mom and dad had died.
I invited him to Christmas with my family and I was just wondering what kind of special things I could do for him this Christmas so that he won't be so sad.....you know.....little things to brighten his holiday....also I'm not even real sure about an appropriate gift for him.....so lost....
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!! Thanks : ) and Happy Holidays!!!

My best friend parents also are dead and it is particularly hard on her due to the fact her father's birthday was new years eve. Talking about it only occurs when she feels like bringing up the subject. when she does I will try to bring out the good memories she has of them to set off the feelings of depression she gets during this time of year. I suggest the same for you with your boyfriend. leave the topic alone unless he brings it up and then be supportive.
As for inviting him to share x-mas with you and your parents I think it is a wonderful and sweet gesture. I believe he will enjoy his time with you and your familly
finnally any gift you give to him is fine. see what he likes so you can maybe wow him. this come from knowing him of course. Don't get anything that would be reminesent of his lost parents though as this would be tacky and bring on his depression over it.
Hope this helps

Invite him for dinner and spend both Christmas Eve and Day with him at your house? Does he have any brothers or sisters he goes to or need to be invited also?Make him a stocking if that's what your family does and give him the gifts you plan on giving him with your family and not when you're alone so he has things to open too.Don't overdo it though because he may feel bad if he doesn't have gifts for everyone who gives him one.

that's enormously delicate i think of. that may not his aunt or uncle who died that's his brother. they didn't want to flow their sons funeral the two I wager yet they did. you're his lady buddy precise. in case you have a brother or sister and that they died, could you flow the funeral? or ask your boyfriend to in line with risk flow with you for emotional help. he's their different baby and in line with risk they can't forgive him precise now because of the fact they needed him. Thjey lost their son. supply them sometime. dropping somebody to you as invaluable as your baby must be the toughest difficulty a discern has to flow by. that may not approximately you and your mothers and fathers inviting him for Christmas and your emotional assist you gave him. that's his kin that he has lived with him his comprehensive existence until eventually now you all have been given jointly. people who've enjoyed and cared approximately him and made him the guy that he's at present. Apparentely why he's in college at present. i'm sorry he's in ICU and that i desire his kin is contacted and that he pulls by. as much as you want that may be useful you won't be able to save the day. that's something while he gets greater effectual has to handle, along with his kin on my own i think of. that's own. that's an rather advantageous gesture on your mothers and fathers to step in although.

Inviting him to spend the Holiday with you and your family is the best gift.
