How do you comfort a person who is thinking about divorce?

How do I, as a teen, comfort my boyfriend's mother and help her cope with her decision to get a divorce?





I mean, I've hugged her and let her know that if she needs anything she can call. But, I don't know if that's enough...





Any ideas?How do you comfort a person who is thinking about divorce?
it is very nice of you to do what you are doing. Ive heard divorce takes a toll on you ONLY if you let it. I have read a book called THE SECRET, it's a great book that teaches you how to be confident and think positive, they also have a DVD. That would help her a whole lot.How do you comfort a person who is thinking about divorce?
Just be there for her even if thats just helping her around the house, or if you have a license running errands for her etc. She may want to talk to someone her age or someone who has more experience with the subject. She may also not want to lay it on your because she doesn't want her son to be in the middle of it. Just don't add to her stress.
You have done all you can do. You can't force her to talk to you but letting her know you are there for her is good enough. Be careful not to take any sides in this situation and just be a sounding board and devil's advocate at the most. Taking sides can cause you some trouble in this. Good Luck!
Since I've been through it twice, I can tell you that she will appreciate having support and just knowing that someone is there for her. Sometimes we need someone to just listen (and not say anything), and sometimes we just need our space to clear our heads!





You're a sweet girl--keep up the support for her!
Your doing the best you can for her.I imagine she has friends %26amp; relatives that will also comfort her, she'll be able to share things with them that may be inapropriate for her to share with you.
Just be there to listen - Not necessarily to add your opinion. Sometimes it's nice just to have someone to talk to besides yourself.
Sorry to say this but you can't. You can just hug her and listen, but unfortunatly you are still young!!
Remind her of how much fun she can have now she is free and single and she can start doing what she wants to do in life again!
all u really can do is be a friend and be there for her if she ever needs someone to talk to, which she will cause divorce isn't ever easy and very emotional so basically just be there for support
You can't do much else.
Try doing things for her like make her dinner or clean her bathroom...every thing helps.
You cant do anything more than that hugging... divorce is a bad experience I guess....
