1. Just be there for him and listen when he wants to talk. Divorce is a hard thing to deal with....
2. Ask him if he would care to talk to you about it... just offering your friendship and talking about it could help him... you can give him some advise from you perspective
3. jus talk to him and let him know his hurt will be over and he'll find self peace.
4. One day at a time......dont worry about yesterday, it is done and gone and dont worry about tomorrow cause it isnt here yet.... focus on today. get through that. breakups are hard on everyone, just got to be patient and deal with it one day at a time
5. you can't do anything...only time can cure his woes. My only advice is to keep him away from alcohol. It only makes shit worse.
6. divorce is really bad and it usually hits the children the worst, best thing is to be there when he needs a shoulder and pardon the old joke, better get a good lawyer because the hurt will double if the wife gets the house, money, car etc....
7. a listening ear. in fact you need not speak much, sincere listening will do. help care for his kids when they are around, that will make him feel he is not alone to carry the burden of taking care of them. and pray for him. prayers for loved ones are always honored by God.
