Congratulations on your son's graduation! It's a big transition from 8th grade to high school in the fall.
As for your h, many of them get the self help books and read a couple of pages or just let them sit on the night stand and collect dust. Some pick up the bible and begin reading it and then talk about it quiet often. It's all part of the journey and I do hope he does read the books and figures things out for himself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
