Hi again everyone,

I'm writing this post because I need some advice for a friend of mine that I work with. She has been dealt a crappy hand in life and it seems no matter how hard she tries, bad things just keep coming.

Her best friend of over 20 years recently died of cancer. She was heartbroken over the loss. She spent several days in New York with the woman's family so she could help them grieve. She told me this morning that the woman's youngest son committed suicide Sunday night because he couldn't deal with the pain of losing his mother. My friend is beside herself right now. I've told her and told her that if she needs anything, all she has to do is ask. My question is this: Is there something I can do for her, say to her that will help her? She has given so much to so many people including me and I hate to see her in so much pain. I want to help her but don't know how. Does anyone have any advice?
