China - who is your friend - an ABer?
If so, have you got a link to his post?
You say medically you have it covered - does that include grief - bereavement counselling? (Not that I'm experienced in the efficacy of such well meaning people / services).
How so "lose" a friend? Is he suicidal? I pray not.
Look, this is true. You go tell your friend, that tonight, whether he believes in it or not, your friend Theland, (he can call me Frank), is going to pray for him, and ask God that he be comforted and strengthened in his hour of need.
Now, I'm a complete stranger to this guy, but you go tell him, that even to me, he is important, and that I'm taking time out for him, because he must realise that he is unique, a one and only, and as a humanbeing he has great value and an enormous contribution to make, and if he feels better about himself, then tell him, think of all of the people that he can go on to help in his life, he, just one man, caqn make a difference to so many.
He is important, and I am going to pray for him. Honestly.
