I think by being there and available to listen is probably more than the best of anything.

I think everyone is different, some folks like to hold it in, and NOT talk about things, some folks like to be open and talk and talk and talk and release it.

But I am certain that we ALL could use a listener when we need it.

I think maybe a card stating that you are here to listen(which I am sure you have been) and then just let her open to you, might be one of the things that you can do.

Of course, I am sure many others will have much better idea than mine. I agree with a lot of what Alpho stated also.

nice meeting you
