I'm trying to get advice for my boyfriend. And please don't focus on bashing me for being on this site with a boyfriend. He doesn't mind. I've been coming here for the forums since 2011.
My boyfriend has a 6 yr old and that child's mother and other child were killed in a horrible wreck last month.  He has had to make a total change in his life. His life has been turned upside down because he had to go from having his child only on weekends to having his child every single day and night. It's so hard to see him so sad and not knowing what he is going to do. It's really taking it's toll on him.
I know this is a forum for those who lost a spouse to death and he was never married to his child's mother, they only dated a while and then she got pregnant. It's just so hard to imagine his child having to grow up not remembering the mother and sister that got killed. And the way they died on top of it all is just horrifying. I can't seem to get it off my own mind and have stressed and been depressed about it myself for weeks now.
Any advice that someone can give would be great.

1. Stay busy, 2. Try to resume a normal life (over time it will become the new normal). 3. Remember nobody forgets a lost love one. Remember the good times. And build a new future.

Bereavement is bereavement. Continue to support your boyfriend and his son. This will be a life long journey for all of you. May The Lord send angels to guide all of you through your bereaving moments. Peace and forward progress to you and yours.

Here is a place to start. Grief groups are great for the children and they usually have concurrent groups for the parents. People who have lost an "ex" often have "messier" grieving for a wide variety of issues. If he is doing okay, this is still awesome support for how to help his child.
