She needs you now more than ever, so be there for her.
It can be helpful to talk to people who care. In addition to keeping the lines of communication open between the two of you, it can also be beneficial to discuss the situation with your parents or others who might be directly affected. Keeping this a secret can only add to the stress of the situation – yours and hers.
Educate yourself and collect helpful information. Seek advice from people who you can trust.
Be honest with yourself and with her. Own and share at all times how you are feeling even if it may seem uncomfortable at first. You might be surprised at how much it will help her to know that you are sharing the same concerns. You will also be surprised at the things you will learn about yourself in the process. You will be proud that you are standing tall together!
