I have no direct experience in this area but all I can suggest is that you be there for Joel and let him talk when he needs to and accept his silence when he doesn't. Encourage him to get counselling and go with him if he wants you to, but don't be offended if he doesn't.
Just be yourself, Doug and remember YOU didn't cause these feelings for Joel but you can help him work through them by standing beside him.
I miss ya, kiddo
