What can you say?

January has been a long month for us. I've been sick, Joe's been sick, I was sick again, then Kate was sick. Add in cold weather, and I'm so glad it's February. However, it's still Monday and I've been feeling a little down anyway.

Then, a friend at work stopped by. She seemed to have something on her mind but was trying to figure out how to start talking about it. And then she said she and her husband are separating which she's sure means divorce. Whoa! She's talked about having trouble in the past and they were trying to work through the issues. She really wanted to get things working again.

Joe and I haven't had friends go through a divorce. I feel so bad for her and want to help, but I'm feeling at a loss as to what to say, etc. So for now, I'm just there to listen. I'll take suggestions on other things I could do to help though.

I wanted to give her a hug, but she was pretty sure she'd start crying. I'm hoping the sentiment was enough.
