Oh I'm sorry to hear about his friend. It may well be that as the anniversary approaches, your boyfriend may struggle with all sorts of feelings. He might feel angry about the suicide, he may feel guilt, thinking he could've/should've done more. He will be missing his friend too.

It's good to ask him how he feels and if he wants to talk about it. If he wants to talk, then listening and validating his feelings can help. If your boyfriend is up to it, then you might want to think about how you can remember his friend and all the good times they had together.

Losing someone to suicide can be very hard to cope with, and perhaps more so when you struggle with your own mental health.

Remember to take care of yourself too
