Yes, just be the best friend you can be, supportive, caring, loving. There's an old saying "when your down you know who your friends are." I believe this to mean you can tell by the ones that stick with you through the hard times as well as the good. Just share a smile and a hug, God will take care of the rest.

Be a supportive friend by listening when he or she needs to talk to someone. Usually it's the friend that needs to do the talking so try to just be a good listener and a shoulder to lean on.

just be there to listen to your friend. they will need someone to vent to. and remind them that they are not the cause of this, just a victim in the solution. divorce is a sad ending but sometimes it can be better for all involved.

this is a critical time for your friend I think you should let your friend know that you will stand by his side to go thru this difficult time. I've gone thru that and believe me it doesn't feel good. I doubt if your friend want to talk about this because I tended not to raise this issue to anyone. but if your friend let you know about this then you should make it clear you stand by him. cheer him up, find him more, not neccessarily open a conversation about it but just to diverse your friend's attention and simply cheer him up. ask your friend to go for a movie, do sports or have a drink. you may ask your friend one or two times "do you want to talk about this and I'm always there as your listener and hope to be a good adviser."

Be a good friend. He/she will need someone that they can depend on to talk with and cry on. Just being there for your friend is the best thing that you can do to help.

yep, be very undestanding of your friend, they are going through emotional hell right now and will need a friend they can vent on. Don't take anything too personally. Reassure that friend that you are a true friend. Don't offer too much advice, just listen.

Just be supportive, be there for your friend if he needs you, but don't force them into talking about it or bring it up in conversation. Perhaps offering them distractions, give them something else to think about for awhile.
If it does come up in conversation, re-assure him/her that things will be OK.
