You are not a therapist. And even if you were, its perfectly fine not to know what to say. Most people in these situations always feel as if they need to say something that will fix a bunch of problems or at least alleviate some stress. Most in most of these situations, there is nothing you can say that will fix anything.
And truly, you are allowed to express just that. Simply say, I don't know what to say or what I would do. But I'm always here to listen if you need someone to vent to.
If she expects more, well, in all honestly, she expects too much.
