can you email him? tell him you are there for him if he needs someone and if he needs space, you can give that to him, too.

I can't tell you what Jim's coping mechanisms are, but I know when I am down I prefer to be alone. If I want something I will contact you. I find it annoying to be poked at when I am in my hole, but that is just me. Like boom boom suggested, perhaps you could send him a friendly card in the mail. No one gets fun mail anymore. And just tell him, I'm going to give you some space right now but you know my number call me if you want a distraction, someone to talk to, a listening ear, etc.

I like Cardiogirl's suggestion. It will let him know you're there for him and leave him the opportunity to reach out to you if he wants. He might just need to pull away from everyone for a little while in order to cope with all the feelings he's experiencing right now.

I have to agree with all above. Just make a general statement whether in person, by phone, email, text or mail, that you're there if he needs you. I always say everything happens for a reason, and if you believe that, you might find comfort in knowing that you came into his life at just the right time.
