<human>: A little background on what's going on here. I dated this guy briefly maybe 6 years ago, I was young and dumb because he was "too nice" so I moved on. (Big mistake) In 2011 he got engaged and in the middle of 2012 they broke it off. She(22) was a party girl and just wanted to have fun while he is ready to settle down and start a family. 

We got back in contact with each other in early 2013 and started hanging out again May 2013. We have only hung out a few times since, but this is a man I can really see myself settling down with and marrying. Plain and simple. Right now he is in China for work and is supposed to be there for 4 more weeks, but last night his ex fiance was in a car accident and killed. I haven't talked to him since he left, but according to Facebook posts, he is trying his hardest to come home.

So long story short, I understand that he is going to be grieving and (I'm sure this is going to make me sound selfish) I know he loved this person, but I'm really concerned this is going to have a huge setback on our budding relationship. Have any of you gone through anything similar? If so, how did you support your SO?

Even if you haven't, any advice on how you would handle this situation would be great.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: In a new relationship, the man I like just lost his ex in a car accident.  I'm not sure how to deal with his grieving process.
