It's Just Heartbreaking

This may not be appropriate, but it's my blog and I need to vent. A friend of mine is going through a really rough time. Her husband left her. Around the same time he left, my friends best friend also left her husband. Now, months later, the truth comes out. They are seeing each other! It seems they were having an affair before leaving. Obviously my friend is heartbroken. It breaks my heart to see her so hurt. I just talked to her and I'm bawling. I don't know what to say to her. I am here for her. I am here to listen when she needs to talk about it. But it really upsets me. I don't want her to read this and think she can't talk to me any more. I just want it to be known that it breaks my heart. What makes it even worse is there's kids involved. Two families were torn apart. And she thought they were friends. How can I help my friend? Is just listening enough? I feel her pain and I don't know what to do for her. I feel helpless.

We were friends with her husband too. We also know the other person involved but we weren't really friends with her. I must say I've lost respect. It is doubtful we will remain friends. We pretty much haven't seen him since he left. But we have discussed inviting him over, don't think that's going to happen now. So in this mess, we've also lost a friend.

I hope listening is enough because that's all I seem to have to offer. I hope I am strong enough. I would never turn my back on her, I just hope I don't break down and get all depressed. It is depressing. It's sad. It's heartbreaking. And I hope she is strong enough to pull through this and one day be able to move on. I'm sure she will, she's a tough cookie. But for now, she's heartbroken. I would welcome any advice on how I can help my friend. On what I should do as a friend. Prayers are welcome also.

Have a good day.
