Heather, The best thing you can do is just let her know your there to listen if she ever needs to talk. Don't ever tell her you understand or know how she feels or can imagine to know how she feels. But just be there. Don't make the usual comments that Amber mentioned. And really, don't let everything revolve around it. help her take her mind off it. Thanks for reading. I hope you keep reading, and check out Amber's blog! Jac
