So complicated!

My boyfriend of 2 years told me he needed some time apart about 2 months ago. Someone he was very close to passed away and although he had a hard time expressing it I'm positive that he felt like his world was spinning out of control.

Since the "breakup" we still talk every once in a while, see each other in groups, and have hooked up a couple times. I recently had a conversation with him about exactly what it was he needed time for, and if this whole thing really is about me or just the fact that he needs to be alone to grieve. He told me that there are just a couple things about me and our relationship that make him a little doubtful as to if he could spend the rest of his life with me. He said that he is just scared and needs some more time to think things through. I told him that it's ok to be scared about marriage but that any of the little things can be worked on and that if he would just look at the big picture than maybe he would realize that the love we have for each other outweighs everything. I told him that I just need the chance to prove to him that this can work.

We haven't spoken since and that was a week ago. I know that under the circumstances of his loss that maybe I should leave him alone and let him take his time. But at the same time I love him so much and I cannot handle losing him. We were so good together before all of this happened. I want to wait for him because there is a glimmer of hope that this will all work out, but at the same time I'm so heartbroken that I don't know if it would be better to just end it now. Someone help!
