As a therapist, we can work collaboratively to support your friend through this challenging time. I can provide therapeutic guidance and support to help him navigate his emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards healing from his grief and depression. Additionally, if he requires assistance in finding resources or accessing support services, I'm here to help facilitate that process. Together, we can create a personalized plan that addresses his emotional and practical needs, empowering him to move forward on his journey towards recovery and well-being. If you have any questions or concerns along the way, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Encourage him to seek professional help: Suggest that he considers therapy with a psychologist or counselor who specializes in grief and depression. Therapy can provide him with a safe space to express his emotions, process his grief, and learn coping strategies to manage his depression. Offer practical support: Help him research therapists in his area or provide recommendations if you know of any. Assist him in scheduling appointments and offer to accompany him to his sessions if he feels nervous or unsure. Listen without judgment: Be a supportive listener and allow him to express his feelings without judgment. Sometimes, having someone to talk to can provide immense relief and comfort. Encourage self-care: Remind him of the importance of self-care activities such as exercise, spending time outdoors, engaging in hobbies, and getting enough sleep. Encourage him to prioritize activities that bring him joy and relaxation. Provide reassurance and encouragement: Let him know that it's okay to seek help and that he's not alone in his struggles. Offer words of encouragement and remind him that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Check in regularly: Keep in touch with him regularly and check in on how he's feeling. Let him know that you're there for him whenever he needs someone to talk to or lean on for support. Educate yourself: Take the time to educate yourself about depression and grief so that you can better understand what your friend is going through. This will enable you to provide more informed support and empathy.

He can reach out to Pro-bono psychologists online since he has financial restraints.

As a friend you should be able to help him get help as for people going through depression its very difficult to seek help. Another suggestion is do not label his concern as Depression without him actually getting a diagnosis.
