I can try so hard to help amd feel like I can't do a darn thing. There is no help, is there?

You know that the most important thing you can do is encourage her to talk about it and your job is to LISTEN. It doesn't matter how often she repeats herself, and she will repeat herself, just listen. If you can get your arms around her that would also be good.
I know what you have meant to me all these years wren and we have never laid eyes on each other....real life warm hugs are the best medicine.
