Why doesn't he want to be friends with me? Should I gove him space?

So I recently ended things with a guy. Who I asked to break up with me. When he finally did he told me to focus on myself right now and getting healthy. Because I am struggling to process my fathers death. I told him we could stay friends because I don't see my self with him in the future. He blocked me when I said that. I message him on another number and apologise for saying that, but I wish he could consider friendship. I told him I am not a fan of grudges and I wish to transfer what we had into friendship because he is valuable to me. He ignore those messages. But whenever I told him about us reconnecting as lovers in the future he reads it but doesn't respond. This is so confusing is this the
New method of communication. Why doesn't he want to be friends with me? Should I give him space? Honestly, I really like him, but I don't wanna be with him. I just want friendship. I wish he could understand that.
