I was the same way when my parents had gotten a divorce. I took it so hard and I blamed myself for years. Let her know there was nothing she could do about it. And that it's going to folow through whether she wants it to or not. Tell her how you're going to remain to be there for her and that even though they are splitting up it doesn't mean that they don't care for each other anymore, it's just relationship's don't always work out as planned. She's probablly taking this whole thing upon herself and hating herselff because she thinks there's something to do to stop them from going all the way with it, isn't she? Tell her when two people can't get along this is what happens and they just need some space away from each other. Maybe int he long run her parents will end up back together, some people take time away from each other and then get back together later. Be there for her. Just let her know you care for her and wont leave her side.

tell her, the usual stuff. what's meant to be is meant to be. and if that doesn't work, just tell her they might not love eachother anymore, but they will never stop loving you

Keep her supplied with plenty of hugs....let her know you're there for her 24/7 day/night (call)....plan active/fun things to keep her mind off and help her realize 'it's NOT her fault' (many children of divorced parents tend to think it's their fault)

you're being a very good friend in seeking answers to help....Good Luck and God Bless !!
