Dear Abby...

I am one of the servants in the Montague family. My job is to send messages to Lord Montage's son Romeo. About a week ago I unfortunate had to tell him some unfortunate news, I found out that his beautiful wife Juliet had sadly passed away. When I told him his this he left. He was gone for about four days, he eventually returned, although he was and still is extremely depressed. He has now been drinking, getting up to mischief and worst, starting  up fights with the Capulets. I am ever so worried, he keeps saying that he wants to go down to where they put Juliet after the funeral to discover the truth but all I think that will do will make him even more depressed! I can not stand him being like this, I want the old Romeo back, I am worried sick please Abby what ever can I do?

Dear Montague messenger...

I have read your message and I fell so deeply sorry for Romeo’s loss. As a matter of fact I too once had a husband who passed away and for the first couple of months he was gone, I felt like the most depressed person in the world. But when I got to about two months of him gone I just learnt to suck it up and move on because it is just simply life! It’s just how the world works unfortunately. So, this is what I think you should do: Tell him thats it ok and people just have to more on, read my advice and tell him all of it and tell him the most of the time you will find someone new and unique and make another great life. Romeo killing himself over it is just the worst thing he could ever do.
