Dr. Dre's Son Has Been Found Dead

Dr. Dre's son was found dead on Saturday in his Woodland Hills, California, home. A cause of death has not been determined and an autopsy is scheduled to be performed on Dr. Dre's son. Dr. Dre's son Andrew Young Jr. was said to have been found by his mother around 10:30 in the morning. Young's mother also stated that Young had been out the night before but had returned home at around 5:30. Dr. Dre's representative has asked that everyone respect the family's grief and privacy at this time, as reported by Billboard.

During this difficult time for Young and Dr. Dre's family it is very important that the other family and friends understand the grief that they are going through. If you want to help them out after this tragedy, take note of what is written below.

The grieving process

No two people are a like and the same goes for grieving. Usually when someone just finds out that a loved one has died they will either cry, become angry, or not show any emotion at all. Shock is the bodies' way of helping it handle situations like these. There isn't a way to really explain shock other than saying that the body feels numbness and it rejects what it heard or what it feels for the time.

Emotional strain

Emotional strain on a family had been tougher than anything that they may ever go through. I have seen families be torn apart after a loved one dies and I have seen many break down and not know what to do. It is important that everyone see a councilor of some sort to help them through this. Even though you may feel that a councilor can not help you unless they have been through it before but this is not necessarily true. Councilors and psychiatrist have went through years of extensive training on how to help people who have been emotionally and physically traumatized.

Being a friend

Some people want to talk about it and others don't, either way listen to them and pay attention to their body language. Understand their needs and help them through this. I have written many articles on grief and the loss of a loved one that I know how important it is to have a friend that will help you through this. I have also dealt with a death of a child and I understand a lot of the emotions that run through you.
