He just killed himself. My sister has no idea how to talk to her boyfriend to help him through this. Help please?

say nothing, but sit quietly and wait for him to speak

Exactly as stated, say nothing. But she needs to be there for him, and be a shoulder for him when needed. She should make herself available for him to run to when he realizes this is reality.

He kept saying it isn't real, it's a dream, her bf also self harms so I'm worries about that. His brother had a huge drug problem.

She needs to be careful about it. He might not want to be touched right now but hugging him might help. Squeezing him tight, rocking him. Comforting in the best ways possible.
