Many times when people die others will feel bad because they think they should feel bad. A lot of the pain is subconscious in origin and not due to the fact that they miss the person.
Yes that's most likely true, but don't you think that this is a bad time to bring it up?
Of course it isn't. I find deaths to be the most thought-inspiring thing, especially when examining the human condition and your own psyche.
I suggest he grab hold of the opportunity.
You forget that he isn't you, and probably doesn't think the same way. He's probably a teenager having to deal with death for the first time.
I know. I'm basing this off of the first time I've experianced someone I cared about dying.
Remember, I watched the first person I knew who died get hit by a car. A young girl, Katie, lived across the street from me when I was in 2nd grade. I was in my yard watching her play with her puppy while her parents were sitting out on the lawn drinking (not alcoholics, just enjoying the weekend afternoon). Dog goes running out into the middle of the street, she runs after it and gets hit, then rolls for a bit. The paramedics said the death was instant. Then after that I've had other friends die, commit suiced, and I've lost one Grandma and one Grandpa.
I feel I know, at least slightly, what he's going through. I also had to deal with death as a child.
