I have been trying to support my best friend as her marriage has fallen apart. Her divorce was just finalized and she is not taking it well.

She is not religious at all but I still tell her daily that I am praying for her… but I need help. I just dont know what else to do and she is slipping further and further down into a deep dark depression. I am so scared where this will lead.

Please pray with me that she finds peace within herself and that she sees all the beauty and blessings that are still all around her.
 
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
 
Your friend is blessed to have your caring and support. May God bless you.

Losing your marriage partner against your will is a radical thing and difficult to overcome.
Even if the ex-partner is difficult to live with, it still a painful abandonment.
If you are emotionally attached, you can feel inconsolable
Without faith, all you have is the horrible reality.

Giving her your friendship and support (and praying) as you are doing is what you can do. Choices for recovery have to come from her, and while she is desperately grieving and resisting the loss, she possibly continue to spiral. You can’t control that but you can continue to be her friend. Grieving is a process. People can get stuck in the process, or they can at sometime work towards recovery For your friend it is all very recent. You are not responsible for her state of mind or in your sincere efforts to buoy or save her fail, but we pray and trust God that she will have the support she needs, makes wholesome choices for her future, and even that she will find faith in God.

Lord please let it be so.
 
Lord, in Your word it is recorded the sentiment we all share, that “God hates divorce.” Our broken hearts are nothing compared to Yours. Comfort the afflicted in this ominous epidemic of severance from one another. Stop the selfishness and hurt. Make us gracious and heroic in our patience and long-suffering. Let us honor our commitments even if our partner does not and keep us faithful and true in loving You until we share in spousal unity with divinity upon Christ’s return for His bride, the Church. Spoil all those economic drivers that subvert marriage and stable families, the cannibal economy that feeds on those who now need two of everything where one once sufficed as broken apart from their oneness. Turn our resources into honoring Your will and caring for the widows and orphans, including the spiritual “widows and orphans” of divorce and alienation. Our souls bless You in gratitude.

I can empathize with her pain. How alone and abandoned she must feel right now. How fortunate for her to have your loyal, loving friendship. Even Our Lord recognized the value of friendship. May she come to know the healing and peace that can only come from Jesus.

I will offer my rosary for each of you. Please continue praying for her and maybe someday soon she will pray with you. God bless.

May she find Hope. and may this Hope be a wall of Solid stone to guard against the darkness of depression. In Jesus’ name, our Hope, amen
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
though burdened by my sins,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in your mercy,
hear and answer me.
Amen.
