[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more thing OP: has your friend asked for your help? If not, I would say be the friend who listens, takes him out to do something you did before the baby died etc, but don’t offer suggestions or advice unless asked. When people did that to us after our baby died, it might have been well meaning but it came off as “you’re grieving wrong, cut it out, it’s making me uncomfortable.” And honestly, we’re not friends with those people anymore.[/quote]

Thanks for this ... his wife has reached out for help because of his behavior.  Unfortunately, a lot of pre-baby activities involved drinking a lot and that is not good for him right now.  I definitely do not want to offer advice, more trying to find things we can do together that are healthy and that will get him out of the house.  The four of us are probably going to go hiking this weekend, so would love ideas for other things that people tried that helped.  [/quote]

You sound like a good friend. I’m the PP you’re responding to. A hike sounds lovely. A nice dinner somewhere, do you like music? theater? Concerts? Movies? [/quote]
