(My partner died two months ago and I was left to care for a 20 month old toddler)

If you're one of his primary support structures, you're already doing great. If you weren't, he'd have chosen someone else.

Some situations just suck. Don't expect to be able to miraculously help your friend. Don't expect him to get better quickly. Perhaps he will, perhaps he won't. You're there for him, that's mostly all you can do.

If you must, ask him how else you can help. Each situation is different and each person is different, he'll know better than me.

I'm sorry for your loss. That really does suck.
