    Being there for her is the best thing you can do right now. Your friend has to take time to sort things out and get a new life started. She is lucky to have a friend like you.

    I can't begin to image how hard it is... hopefully she and her husband can at least be on a friendly terms for the kids.

    I helped my best friend through her divorce a few months ago. They didn't have any children, which made it 10 times easier, but it was still hard. Most of the time I just let her vent or would go with her places to run little errands just so she didn't have to go alone. All you can do is be there for her.
