<human>: My boyfriend and I are long distance and have been together officially for a little over two months.  This weekend he recently lost his grandfather that he was REALLY close to.  I've been trying to be a supportive girlfriend, but if I'm being honest, I'm REALLY REALLY bad at it and am just having a hard time doing it.  I'm pretty sure I've asked him how he's doing about a billion times and I swear if I ask again one of us is going to explode.  I genuinely care about how he's doing I just don't know how else to show it or ask about it.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Basically, how do I be a supportive girlfriend to my boyfriend who just lost his grandfather that was essentially his super hero?
