Can you talk to me about Meta Quest 3S VR goggles?

I have a VR goggle, but it was phone specific so it’s useless now. But I know how immersive they are.
I have a young (35) friend who is going through a terrible time. His 17 year old son died a few days ago, from gunshot. They aren’t sure if it was suicide or foul play.
They found him in bed, in his room.
My friend is just torn up, spinning and spinning in grief.
Among other things he said he almost wants to be back in a gang again. I thought maybe the gangs were like some sort of family for him, but he said it’s not.
He’s a very street wise kid. He’s seen a lot of bad things.
He has 3 other kids.
I feel so helpless.
My daughter happened to mention that her son got VR goggles that don’t use a phone.
I thought that if I send him a set he could get lost in that instead of lost in his own mind.
I’m really worried and feel so helpless.
Do you think VR Goggles might help? Might offer him some relief?
He’s Mexican and macho. He’s not going to do sissy things like join a support group.

I need some ideas on how to help….
