Grief comes in waves and is at times all consuming, allow the waves to come when and as often as they do as it is part of the grieving process. This loss will become part of him and he can only take his mind off it for a few seconds in the beginning but as time passes, the lapses between the waves and the pain which comes with them diminishes but he will never stop grieving his loss, never. Please try to remember that. Allow him the space to breathe and grief.

Ask him by all means if he want to go out or offer to take him out to a quiet place he like away from people he know so he can breathe and have fresh air. Whatever he wants to do, let him do. If he wants to be left alone then do that, he may need time to breathe from other people too.

More practically, do his shopping, make him meals and put them in the fridge, pay his bills etc but NEVER make arrangements regarding HIS wife without his permission. He is a man, please respect that.
