[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think empathy is best in this situation. Instead of "it will all work out", which it might not. How about say, "that must be really tough. Do you want to talk about it?" Then listen to what she has to say. Try not to "make her feel better" because there is probably nothing that can make her feel better. Just listen, and be a good friend. [/quote] This but if she is a really good friend and you think she might be open to it, ask if she wants to brain storm options with you. If I had understood that it was possible and that I had the option, I might have frozen some eggs in my earlier 30s. (I started with an RE at 35 and eggs don't seem to be my issue but I wish that I'd been able to start at 31 ... I just wasn't there yet. This might provide her with a way of feeling proactive?!)[/quote]
