How to best support a friend considering divorce?

A friend is seriously considering divorce from her husband and I don’t know how to best support her. We are all mid twenties and she is the only one of our group to be married yet, and I don’t know what’s helpful and what isn’t. I want to support her as best I can but I’m worried about saying the wrong thing. They have been married for a few years with no kids involved if that makes any difference.

Does anyone have any advice of what you wish someone had/hadn’t said to you while you were considering/getting a divorce? I’m really sorry if this is insensitive and hope it isn’t, I just don’t know how to help her and have had great advice from Mumsnet in the past.

You just need to be an ear. Don't try and give advice as such. She's probably got a lot in her head she just needs to get out and make sense of. Your support is what she needs. Tell her you're there for her when she needs you. Check in often x
