Capricorn man when grieving. What is helpful for you?

I know everyone is different, but What are Capricorn men like when they are grieving? Have been talking to a long time friend daily for a couple of months now. He came over for dinner last week (we hadn't seen each other in five years) and told me his dad has been sick for a couple years and would be passing soon. He passed away a few days ago. I sent a text telling him I was thinking of him and sending lots of hugs and that I am here for him any time. Obviously do not want to bother or create stress for him. Should I now just leave him be? Should I continue to check on him every few days? I am a Virgo and just want to be helpful.

Yeah check in on him but don't be pushy or ask any questions. Grief sucks. Everyone is different. Some people want to talk about it and some people want to avoid it and then there's different stages, good days and bad...

He messaged me last night. He appreciated my messages and actually asked how I was. He was in good spirits relaxing at home playing guitar.

sometimes I feel like Capricorn men always keep a lot of secret griefs coz of all the brooding

you can't help but care for them

Never got that feeling from him at all.

Yeah that's just his way I have a neighbor who everyday we have to feel sorry for whatever is going on with here. I have compassion but she is all drama. In this case I am just trying to comfort someone I care a lot about who just lost his dad.

Capricorn men always find something to be sad about,

but this seems very serious and you're right for offering him a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen in this difficult time.

My Cap nephew always wants people to feel sorry for him.

I can understand if fire signs finds our melancholic nature to be huge turn off and suspicious.

But honestly i couldnt care less and actually finds your insensitivity to our feelings as another reason to be sad about.

Peace out.

I suggest you let him be but show your empathy.

Do things for him like chores he postpones and try to talk to him normally about worldly stuff to shift his mind from the grieving
