Posted by Brickhouse27My brother is an aqua and we just recently lost our brother, at first it was hard since he doesn't like being probed or poked about his feelings. He took it in stride with a lot of dark humor but lately he's been trying to figure his emotions out. I would say time, space, and coming from a place where you're listening not judging or seeking more from him than what he's willing to give. I don't know if it's aqua based but he does like to act like everything is okay when it's not. May appear like he isn't seeking support when he is and is being strong when he's falling apart. So if he is like that, then be there without being too intrusive. Pamper him without helicoptering.
So my significant other aunt passed a few days ago and he’s taking it hard. How do you really handle and deal with Aquarius man and grief? I know it seems like a silly question yet it’s new and I know ppl process things differently.

IDK if there is a one size fits all approach. My dude just lost his gramps, he's not Aquarius but double air sun and moon.
Just been giving him lots of space and time to himself, hugs when he wants em, food, keeping his glass filled and having the dogs attack him with kisses.

I understand so be there yet give him time to grieve. He was like now you are all I have, which caught me off guard. He never talked or talks about his parents…click to expand

He's going to need time to grieve and he may prefer to do it alone. It depends if he's the type to not speak of his pains then he may keep those wrapped up inside fearing to come across as weak or vulnerable. He probably has some fears he doesn't speak about so what I would say is if you read between the lines or listen careful at the things he says you'll find some clues.click to expand

Yep I feel like it’s a lot that happened in his childhood that he doesn’t talk about yet like you said it will come out. Let him grieve, check on him but give him his space?click to expand
