Hi, I am seventeen years old and was hoping someone would be able to help me. Tragically my boyfriend lost his mum to cancer three days ago, and I am really anxious about saying the wrong thing / about how to talk to him. Now, we have only been together for a couple of months, and he never told me of her illness, I had also never met her- however this was not odd as I had also not met his brothers and sisters or dad, he has only met my family a couple of times. He told me the morning that she died, and apologised for not having told me she was ill, but he isn't typically open emotionally about these things (which of course is not a problem, I told him not to apologise and told him how sorry and heartbroken I am for him). He said they were not expecting her to pass away. I just feel I am somewhat out of my depth, and am frightened I may say the wrong thing. If anyone could be of any help it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I am just really unsure and care about him very deeply. Thank you
