My partners dad died yesterday. I don't know what to say or do to support him? I just feel so desperately sad for him. He's really not a 'talker' and I've never had a really close bereavement before.
His dad has been terminally ill with little quality of life for over a year now, so it wasn't completely out of the blue but still seemed to happen quite suddenly iyswim.
We also have a 2.5 yr DS. What do we say to him? He visited their house 2-3 times a week so will notice he's gone.
I'm not due back at work until Monday now but my DP does majority of childcare while I work. Should I call and say I can't come into work?
Can anyone offer any advice or guidance? Thank you.
