BMW,
yes tell her some things that helped you.....do this in baby steps too....let her reactions guide you. You are her friend and friends share....let her vent as much as possible....let her talk as much as she wants...learn how to have a pause in the conversation...long pauses in conversations can be uncomfortable but will allow her the time to verbalize the hard things that she may be feeling. Of course ask open ended questions to encourage better dialogue.
I wish you much luck with your friend....does she have a pdoc/tdoc or taking meds to help with depression?
you could encourage her to seek professional help if she doesn't have that worked in yet.
you are a good friend.
