My best friend died 2 months ago, possibly suicide, I just found out last week. I didn't get his dad's new # until yesterday... the relative I got it from said he'd be glad to hear from me.
So I called him yesterday..... he sounded a bit depressed and we were like hi how are you fine and you... blah blah.... I asked if its a bad time to talk he said he has somebody there right now and asked me how can I help you? I told oh nothing I just wanted to talk to you, you know, I didn't know.... and he said I wanna talk 2 u too but I have some1 here right now let me call you tonight.
He never called... I was thinking maybe I should give him a week? I jjust wanna talk to him about my friend/his son and also find out where he's buried. Thoughts?

Hmmm - a couple of days - maybe a week...I'm thinking that the grief of a parent over the loss of a child (of any age) is at best - overwhelming...And his company may have stayed longer than he had anticipated. In fact (hopefully) he's getting a fair amount of companionship to help him through this time - hopefully you are also staying connected to others during this time of loss as well... In any case, do try to call your friends dad again - and/or send him a card. If just to let him know that you're thinking about him. It could - help you both through the process...
