How do i help my boyfriend thru his grief?

He says he has problems expressing his emotion so he he completly cut me off for two weeks when his grandma died. He is just starting to talk to me again. How do i help him get thru grief process or do i just let him do it on his own? I want to be there for him but i don't want to push

Just let him know that you are there for him when he needs to talk. tell him that you respect his wishes to be left alone but reasure him about your feelings and that you'll always be there for him. Maybe keep a brief journal of your feelings during the separation and offer to share that with him if you feel he needs to know.

You have to let him deal with his grief in his own way and in his own time..Pushing him will only push him further away..beleive me let him come to you when he is ready for some comfort..and he will come to you ..the grief process is different for each person.Just be patient and it will pay off for you.

Of course everyone handles grief in his or her own way, but often people will shy away from talking about a dead person and this hurts the ones who loved them. The dead person is still very much loved and real to the ones they left behind. Therefore it is comforting for the grieving person to be able to talk about the dead person.

Perhaps you can start off with mentioning something good about his grandma or asking a question like "what did you love most about your grandma?". You'll know right away if this is the right approach. For heavens sake do not say things like "it was for the best", or "these things happen for a reason". One of the worst things someone said to me was comparing my lose with one that they had, like it was some sort of competition of who had the worst death in their family.
