If you will not see him for a bit, I suggest you send him a letter meanwhile, noting that you heard, and he is in your thoughts. You will see him whe you are there, and are avalable if needed etc.
Everyone has a different experience, but initially the first couple of weeks are more shock, then people come out of shock, and then the longer term acceptance of loss starts. which is where your presence will help. during shock nothing really matters.
