When he approaches you, the best thing you can do is listen and validate. Give him your undivided attention. Just listen to "his story". It is his truth, not yours. Just understand him.
The rest of the time. Keep busy. Be happy doing things. Get out of the house (coffee, walks, gym, siting in the park watching kids play...whatever...go enjoy life). Leave him there alone.
