Listen to your daughter when she wants to talk. She is probably feeling down and beating herself up over her failed marriage. Reassure her that she's not alone. Half of all marriages end in divorce. Don't pass judgment. Just try to be as supportive as you can.

Wait for your daughter to open up. Don't force her to say or do anything she isn't ready for. Only she knows when she is ready to talk, move on and begin the healing process.

Encourage your daughter to seek counseling or join a support group. If she's really upset and it doesn't look like she's handling the divorce well, recommend that she seek professional help. There's nothing wrong with speaking to a counselor or other people experiencing divorce. If she's hesitant, offer to go with her to her appointments or meetings. You may not be able to sit in on the conversation, but knowing that you're there waiting in another room can be reassuring.

Shower her with love. Most likely she's hurting right now. Give her a hug, tell her how much you love her, kiss her or write her a note telling her how much she means to you. Small gestures mean a lot during this emotional time.

Help her plan her financial future. She may need help planning her finances now that she is on her own. Going from a dual income to a single one can be a difficult transition. Help her itemize her expenses and determine what she can and cannot afford.

Give advice only when she asks. Don't force your thoughts or opinions on her. You need to remain neutral in this situation. Try not to become personally involved. This is your daughter's divorce, not yours. Don't say anything bad about your daughter's ex-husband in front of her or your grandchildren.
