Hey all,

First time posting here. My wife lost her best friend tragically in a car accident in high school. Though it's been nearly 10 years, she still mourns for her friend on those days.

I am totally supportive of her, I have lost two friends in similar fashion in high school (granted we were not as close as she was with this friend) but my wife was not the type to develop friendships easily and so losing her was like losing a sister. We've been together almost five years at this point and each year I struggle to find ways not just to cheer her up but to help her cope.

As her husband I want to be there for her and help her find a new way of dealing with the pain of loss. I know I can never fully take it away and that's my own struggle as I want to be a positive in her life and be able to fix everything. However, when these days roll around I usually find myself encumbered and unable to help other than being around for when she wants to talk about it, cry, or take her mind off of it.

Is there anyone out there that has had a similar struggle and could help me find new ways of helping her? Or, am I chasing a red herring? Thank you in advance.
