Your friend needs to see a professional to help him get through this. Friends have to make sure he does this. Also, he needs to have his friends around, to make sure he is still functioning. He is hurting real bad, and as you say. is crushed. it's going to take time, but, he needs help from his buddies, and a professional or two. Make sure he doesn't start thinkng of "going postal" on her, and keep the booze and recreational drugs away. He needs to be thinking as rationally as possible. The best things you guys can do is make sure he gets help, and spend time with him, and be honest with him, If he starts being a jerk, tell him, if he turns into a turnip head, tell him. Good Luck
