...I sometimes feel at a loss to help him. I've never been through this
just continue to let him know you will listen to him whenever he wants for as long as he wants and as often as he wants.
^ This I do.

Yes, I have heard this from him. I try to make sure he knows he can ALWAYS call, I'll never get tired of talking to him.

This I do now and then, probably not as often as I should. I'm always hopeful when I don't hear from him that he's doing better. Thanks for your words of advice. I will take them to heart.
