Just be there for her. Be somebody she can talk to or a shoulder she can lean on when she needs to cry. Joke with her to lift her spirits, take her out to dinner or a movie, etc.
However, I think there are some boundaries that shouldn't be crossed....and that is her talking negatively to you about your dad (that is if your dad is the one she is divorcing). To me that would be a conflict of interest for you. Good Luck and God Bless you both during this time. Janes

Just be there for her and let her know these things happen this is life and in each failure or rough spot in life there is a lesson,she cannot blame herself,let it be where it is in the past and move on to the next step of getting her life in order,it is not the end of life as we know it,let her know you will be there to help in anyway you can....

Thanks. I'm having a tough time finding the words to help her. They've been married 31 years. I'm a daddy's girl and with him stepping out on my mom, it's hard to talk about it. It's almost as surreal to me as it is for my mom.

I agree. She's been awesome about not talking bad about my dad, even though he deserves it. She understands my relationship with him is(was) close. It's hard for me all the way around. I can't imagine what she's going through. She's by herself and seems to be bottling her emotions. I'm finding it difficult to get her to talk about her feelings. We've shared some good cries though. Thanks for the advice.
