<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Hello reddit...first time posting in this section. I apologize in advance if this is the wrong section to post this. My boyfriend recently had one of his closest friends land in the hospital. He won't go into detail, and I won't prod him for any as well. 

He has been really upset over this situation and he's already really stressed out. I have no idea how to help or comfort him. He spends as much time in the hospital as he can trying to get updates on said friend's condition. 

He barely gets any sleep as it is and has to wake up early for school and various commitments. I worry he's going to wear himself out. We barely spend any time together anymore, which I understand.
<bot>: boyfriend's close friend is really sick in the hospital. He is really upset. How can I comfort my boyfriend, or at least try to make him not so sad 24/7?
