Be there for that friend. Be a listening ear, a distraction. You can get that friend out of his/her house at times to go do something together that could be fun. It's okay to let that person know that you're there and you can offer to listen, but don't keep reminding that person about it. Avoid to bring it up time after time. If that person brings it up himself/herself then let him/her talk. If that person cries, you can offer your shoulder. If that person tends to wallow in the sadness too much, you should try to distract that person. Just being there would already mean a lot to that person.
