best friend help: My best friend’s parents are separating. - Help.com

My best friend’s parents are separating.

They’ve been married for over 20 years, and things are falling apart. I know she’s not doing the greatest, but she’s SUPER private and won’t tell me what she needs from me and won’t really talk about what she’s feeling. I’ve been trying to see her as often as possible, but our work schedules are almost exact opposites, and because she went home for the summer, we’re almost 3 hours apart. What do I do/say to help her?

Let her know you’re concerned, and will be there for her if she needs you. Seems like that’s all you can say and do for now. Support, don’t pity, and don’t push too hard. Check on her, but keep your distance. She might just need time. I hope this helps you somehow.
