your poor son, im gathering the friend was the young girl who has been splashed over the news - how devastating for all of you. i lost a close friend when i was 19, and i found that i spoke more with my friends who were also friends with him, however now that i'm a mum, i think i would make sure that your ds knows you;re there to speak to when and if he chooses.

hugs to you and yours, this story was so devastating.
