I just want to add something, not really advice but important nonetheless. I agree with what everyone’s said, but if things don’t get better, remember that you’re not responsible. You can do whatever you can to show your friend she’s loved, but don’t blame yourself if you can’t pull her out of the dark feelings she’s having. Not a fun thing to think about, and I sincerely hope she gets through this with your help, I just know it’s easy to feel responsible for being unable to make someone you love feel better, and I want to remind you that you’re not. Whatever happens, you are a wonderful person and a wonderful friend :)

Much listening ❤️
Agree with everything that Itsnotmefr said, but also want to add that if/when you can see them in person, offer them a hug, or several dozen. Like they said, don't just say you care, but try and find something you can *do* to show your friend that you truly care.
call or text her, even just a "how was your day?" "have you eaten.?" or just listen to what she has to say, what's on her mind. If you can, ask to hang out or come over, let her know that you're there for her in actions as well to saying it to her. I'm sorry to hear about your friend, I hope she's well ♡
