If you've been through a divorce, please come in
My sister and her husband are on the road to divorce. She's not taking it too well, although she knows in her heart that it was coming. She's very, very emotional and understandably, can't really think straight when in that state.
Her husband told her yesterday that he wanted a divorce....sis was anticipating it being the other way around, so this is more of a blow to her. She had already been preparing herself for this by setting up her own account, getting copies of paperwork, etc. She didn't want to talk about it last night, so we hung up. Her husband called me today, saying she's crying uncontrollably and just driving around.
I really don't know what to do here...should I call her if she doesn't want to talk? How much space do I give her? We're very much alike in that we internalize our emotions, but I don't know how I would react in this situation.
If you can give me any advice and how to help her through this, it would be much appreciated. She's out-of-state, so it's difficult for me to be there for her long-distance.
Thank you.

I can't give too much advice because I'm the one that did the leaving, so didn't go through this type of trauma like her.
I hope that it all works out - I'm sorry she's going through this!
