I am sorry for his and your loss. I think it was really great for you to be there for him. I lost my grandma 3 years ago and my mother this year my girlfriend has been to the funeral and at the hospital for all of these events and I can tell you just being there means a lot. I know he might not tell you all the time, but I am sure you are his support most often. Grieving is a natural process that he does have to go through in his own way, it will get easier. I think that just telling him that you might not understand completely (unless you have lost a loved one then you do understand and tell him that), but you want to and he does not have to talk about it (cause some men hate that), but that your always going to be there for him if he does. Maybe give him a long hug. Also I think the little things count, so just making his life easier like doing random chores for no reason like I randomly washed all your clothes and now you don't have to do it. You could ask him if he wants to go with you to visit their graves or see their ashes, it might be a thing he needs to do. Or even just go to a restaurant that he use to go to with his father where he can think about the happy times. I always like being in places that my died loved ones were like when grandma would take us to McDonalds breakfast every saturday or the chinese buffet were she would talk about her youth.
