Thanks AS and labug, I see that I have been a bit off in my validating. I guess I was equating agreeing with her to validating in this case. I can do better. Right now I am considering reaching out to her and asking her how she is feeling today. I think maybe we have enough rapport right now that I should try and be a supportive friend. Or maybe I just wait for her to reach out again...
