I need a few words of advice from anyone who's willing! My best friend just announced she is getting a divorce. I am a child of divorce, so I know roughly the emotions involved and the emotional roller coaster that she is likely to go through. I just don't know how much support to give her. What is too much, and what is too little?
Also, her husband and my husband have become really good friends as well. How will we manage keeping our friendships without hurting the feelings of the other party involved?

Carolina Girl,
PRAY and LISTEN. There's not anything you can do to fix this. If you think your husband could talk with your friend's husband, then maybe that's something you could do. You didn't say what the circumstances are surrounding the D. I'm just starting to way this way and the friends that have been the most helpful are those that listen to me ramble, offered to go to the lawyer with me, call me to see if I'm okay, and try to keep me from making emotionally charged decisions.
Encourage your friends to get counseling if you think it's appropriate.
Good luck and your friend is lucky to have you as a best friend.
