Hey Dalamar; Vulcan, RevRuby, Larry, Bungleau - they're all right. Your friend needs their friends. You may not know what to say to make them feel better about things; but you may be able to make them laugh, or cry, or get angry or sad. A friend isn't someone who makes everything ok. A friend is someone who's there when everyone else has left. Someone who may be scared to be around them, but still comes over. Someone who has no idea what to do to help or make things better, but is on hand just in case they're needed.
Mate, you can't fix this - that's the doctor's job. The best thing you can do is be there. Don't try to act natural, like nothing's happened. They'll see through it anyway. Be honest, be open and be a friend - as weak or as strong as you can be. They'll appreciate it, believe me.
Take care. Leonis.
