D has been lucky enough to not have experienced the death of someone he sees regularly ITMS. His Grandpa (DH's dad) passed away almost 3 years ago, but he was in Turkey and D only got see him the two times he was overseas.

D came up to me out of the blue a few weeks ago crying about what he would do if i died or if anybody close to him died. I just told him that it was part of life and that we will all die one day and for him not to worry as we weren't going anywhere soon.

I'm sure it will be very hard on him when one somebody he sees regularly dies.

No advice, i'm sorry Tan.
