We both have busy lives. I'm sorry I am not around more for you.
Would you like to get lunch tomorrow? It wont be an instant cure, but talking in person sometimes helps.
Alex exploded? Your house... I'm sorry. War is no thing for any of us... it's a harsh and terrible thing. War unfortunately happens whether we want it or not. My advice is to take a few days and just be you, breathe in life, and be yourself.
Immerse yourself in life. It's the only way to get past death.
