well, I recently had a friend that went through a huge trauma and its hard to say how you can help your friend. If it isn't extremely serious I wouldn't say anything I would just do activities with them to help them forget. In my case, they needed closure. A loved one just died whom they loved very much. My friend needed to know someone still loved and cared for them so just do loving simple acts. Sometimes people just need space too, they may feel suffocated if you show too much kindness like they might feel that you think they are incompetent with handling there feelings. So, it really just depends what the situation is. I hope your friend gets better!

Just being by their side- will be good until they feel the need to express their grief-and then LISTEN and hold them when they cry and when the time comes for healing do what you can to help them smile and to see that life indeed does go on!

be there, even they don't ask you to.
you can comfort by being a shoulder, or just by being near.... let them know that they can lean on you for anythiing.... do some of the small things in life for that person, so that they don't have to, during this time... i.e. grocery shop, cook some meals, laundry?
