The termination was a couple of months ago and seemed to go fairly smoothly, or a smoothly as could be hoped for, but over the last few weeks she has got so down shes hardly recognisable at times. I want to help because I love her a lot but feel completely shut out and impotent.

She's very lucky she has you to care so much about her. She's really going through a difficult time, something you in no way could possibly understand. Research the subject and the stages of greiving that she'll being going through so that you'll be able to reconize when they appear and you'll be more equipped to handle them. Encourage the two of you to seek professional help, she may need medication to get her through her post-partum depression. Yes she is suffering post-partum depression and it's probably compounded by guilt and anger. Know she may direct some of that anger toward you. It doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't love you or that she fully blames you, although she may say those things. It's just so difficult for her to deal with right now. But the best thing to do is talk to each other and seek help. She's sooooooooo lucky to have someone as caring as you, I'm very proud of you to love her enough to seek answers from others. She's made an extremely difficult decision and she should in no way listen to anyone who puts her down for that. No one has to walk in shoes or deal with her issues. She has to decide what's right for her and I'm sure it's not easy for her. I wish you two the best. I know she'll do well because she has you who cares for her. God Bless. You're a great friend.

just support her in anything she's doing, make her feel loved, encourage her to see a counciler, depression is SERIOUS, it's nothing to mess around with, it makes you feel horrible! but DO NOTT pussh the issue, she will go when she feels she needs to (I know this from personal experiance, i went when i couldnt even get out of bed in the morning) all she might need to get though it is an anti-depressant.

if u ask her if she wants to talk, and she says yes, let her do most of the talking. if u ask her if she wants to talk, and she says no, then don't. sometimes, talking makes ppl remember more about it, and that's worse. or sometimes, i like to try to make my friends laugh when they're feeling blue. i look them straight in the eye, and say, "Don't smile!" no one can resist it. (trick: try to make it look like ur thinking silly thoughts)
