I am so saddened to hear this Barb. Your friend is lucky to have you to stand by her during what will undoubtably be the toughest time in her life. Divorce is difficult, but to have a spouse, or estranged spouse, commit suicide must be so much worse. There will probably be people who look for someone or something to blame, and they may try to blame her. You need to stay right there for her and let her know that she is absolutely not responsible. HE made bad choices in his life and she was not responsible! I think it is good that the two of you had actually talked about this possibility before it even happened. That will help gte her through. You are an amazing woman and I am sure you are an amazing friend to her.
