I'd do anything to make him feel better, but don't know what would be better, to spend time with him or give him space? Talk about her or try and take his mind off it? I'd be very thankful for advice. xx

There are some who would want you to spend more time with them and some who would want more space. You will have to feel him out since you know him better.
It is difficult to advise you on this because different people may react differently in that same situation.
Just be there and listen and help him in anyway you can.

All you need to do is tell him that you are there for him if and when he needs you. Then just give him a little space, don't hassle him too much and just continue. He'll open up when the time is right.
