He's going to be grieving for a while. There's no getting around that. The first week will probably be the worst.
[STREEEEEETCH.
Okay, here's all the sum of his experience talking about love, being in a relationship, managing the emotional burden of having to keep a secret without speaking to the god about it, and god wrangling itself.]
I want you to think of all his friends and contact them. Get them to handle prayers for you, bring food, and keep him company for now. What Shen Wei needs to do is concentrate getting through the worst of it, and that means focusing on himself and allowing himself to mourn.
If his lover's other god is up to talking, see if you can get them in the same room so Shen Wei can start getting some of his grief out. Same with any other friends who knew the couple well.
[SIGH]
You also need to take that time to just be there and not do anything else. You're doing the right things: talking, feeding, and sitting on his lap. I'll tell you some things you might try saying in a moment, but you also need to contact your friends. It's going to be bloody rough for you, so have people there you can vent to.
