I feel horrible for her. I'm trying to support her, but it breaks my heart to see her so devastated.
s**t, I'm in tears right now.
I just wish I could do more for her. To make it go away.

Honey,I'm so sorry! This is going to be difficult for both of you...be there for one another.
(((HUGS!!!)))
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

Cthulhu

Thank you.
I'm doing everything I can, but it's not enough. Only time will help...but I hate to see her suffer.

You are right. It's not enough.  Nothing you can do can stop her pain.

Let her cry.  Cry with her.  That's about all we have sometimes.

Peace and prayers to you and your friend.  I'm glad she has such a friend.

Don't.  You're only human; there's only so much you can do.  Visit/call when you can; she will appreciate the voice of a good friend.
Very sorry to hear.  Keep your chin up.

in high school my friends brother did the same thing....while he didn't say anything you could tell that the bunch of us being there for him helped a lot

Being there for someone is indeed all you may be able to do, but that helps immensely. Let them know they arn't taking this alone. Trust me, it helps.

I'm sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your friend. It says a lot for your decency that you suffer with her.

Hold her and cry with her.  It's all you can do.

Hard to know what to say but what you're doing is so important, being there for those left behind.

Luckily you've never been in a position where you felt you might want to take your life. Sometimes it's hard for people to think about the feelings of others when they can't even feel or care for themselves.
