Answers:
There are no right or wrong things you can say if you are speaking out of love and concern!. Just be yourself!. Show that you care by talking to her, holding her while she cries, or whatever else is necessary!.
Offer to listen as she vents her feelings of despair, anger and loneliness!. Sometimes this is enough to lighten the load just enough for her to carry on!. Be sympathetic, non-judgmental, patient, calm, accepting!. She will pick up on your attitude and begin to mirror this!.
Last but not least, pray for her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

All you can do is let her know you're there for her - and I bet you could help by supporting her family too (drop off some food or something if you know them - take their kids to school, whatever)!. Later, when she comes around, she'll know you were there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

im sorry to hear!. This must be hard for you and your friend!. Visit her often when you have free time and ask her questions, unrelated to her relationship!. when she is out of the hospital try hanging out with her with a big group of friends who understand the situation!. Make sure that you keep an eye on her!. If she looks depressed, talk to her and just try making a little conversation!. Even a little conversation can help her and forget about her past!. this may take a while but keep trying!. She is still young and energetic!. She has a lot of time to find anther BF!. You dont want to loose a friend now!. Keep in touch with her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You've gotten some great answers!. It's important to be there for her and let her know you won't judge anything she says!.
The one caution I'd toss out, however, is that you shouldn't develop expectations that you can somehow solve this!. She needs to do that herself, hopefully working with a good therapist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
