Helping a loved one

Hayley • Wild child💃🏼20. I love MMA and kitties👊🏼😻
My boyfriends dad passed away very suddenly recently. My boyfriend is a very quiet and introverted person that doesn't talk about his feelings much if at all. I don't want to suffocate him or be too much but I just want to help and do what I can and he isn't communicating what he needs from me and I feel helpless. I have never lost anybody in my immediate family(thank god) and I don't know what to do
