All you can do right now is take care of yourself and be a supportive friend. I would suggest going to another friend for support, someone who maybe doesn't know her, so they're not as distressed as you. It can help sometimes to be with someone who would get it, but if they knew her and they're feeling the same way, then neither of you will have an outsider's standpoint, which is sometimes what you need to help you. Spend as much time with your friend as possible, be with her and show her you care. You'll feel better the more you hang out with her, you'll feel a sense of comfort knowing she's still here. Try to get her the help she needs, but don't forget about yourself. Your health matters just as much as hers does.
