Sit and just listen while he talks. Don't talk. Don't try to fix him. Don't tell him everything will be OK, or you understand how he feels. Just listen. He has to work through it himself. If you can't listen and keep your mouth shut, don't get involved.

Grief is a predictable process with predictable stages, and takes from one to two years to complete. It is normal. Interrupting the process simply makes it take more time, and may stifle it altogether. Then the person will not work through the emotions, and may carry the effects for a lifetime.

It depends on the rabbit, but most rabbits would benefit from having a new friend. Rabbits do grieve for the loss of their loved ones, but also they get plain lonely sometimes.
