What he needs to do and what he is prepared to do is another thing.
From my own experience and friends with adult children advice from parents isn't always taken well.
Does he have a friend or someone outside the immediate family circle who he would be more prepared to take advice or suggestions from.
If he asked for advice that is a different thing.
What I would do in your circumstances is play a supporting role for the whole family.
The children especially, could you have them to yours, put some routine and pleasure into the day with you and something they will look forward too.
Do you have a relationship with your DIL?
As ordinary people we can only show our love and support for our families as they come up against life's trials and let them know we are there for them.
We still worry about our children even when they do become adults it's only natural.
