Advice needed, friends dad tried to.....
My friends dad recently got into a fight with his wife, and he tried to choke himself to death.
His doctor put him in the phsyce (sorry for spelling) ..but my friends really upset, and i wanna help her out, i know theres nothign i could do to fix the fact that it happened , but i don't know what to say to her , i want her to try nnd stay happy, is there anything i could do to kinda take her mind off of it or anything?
The best thing you can do is just be there for her. Give her hugs and comfort, let her talk but don't let her obsess. In highly emotional situations people tend to go up and down, crying and upset one minute and laughing the next. Just be ready for either.
We can only learn to love by loving. - Iris Mudoch, British writer
Lend an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. Remind her she is a good person. And lots of hugs.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Patrick Henry
Let her know that even if her family is having a hard time, it's no reflection on who she is, what kind of a person she is, or how you feel about her directly. People make choices; her dad is in need of help. He has chosen to get help, and she should get some too.
