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.

Warm hugs and good wishes to both of you in this terrible time.  :bluesad:

As so many have said, there is nothing more to do but to be a friend and be there for her.  Having someone there to share the pain is an immense gift and not to be underestimated.

Spending time with your friend should help her through this very difficult time.  One of my best friends committed suicide when I was about 24 years old.  I visited his parents several days every week for months.  His father and I would sit at the kitchen table and talk for hours.  It seemed to help his dad a lot.  It certainly helped me.

Thank you all so much...I really don't know what to say...

It's times like this when you realize just how many good friends - family, actually - you have on this site: we are all here for you.  :smile:
