Unhappy What can I do to help my friend   #1  
I need advice on how I can help my friend.I just got a call from a close friend of mine,and my friend just told me that a close friend of his had committed suicide a few minutes ago.My friend whose name is Robbie told me that his friend committed suicide because he was severely depressed and he had been going through so much drama in life,he was 22 years old.He was abused by his parents all the time from ages 6-8 years of age.

He had been abandoned by his parents when he was 8yrs old and his aunt took him in,but a month after he lived with her she started abusing him too and she abandoned him too so he had to live in an foster home.He lived in the foster home until he was 18yrs old.He was bullied in middle school and high school all the time and he didn't have any friends except for Robbie all his other friends turned their backs on him.He had got his own apartment and job when he was 18 years old.He was fired from his job a week ago and his fiancée left him the same day he was fired for someone else.

My friend is so devastated behind the death of his friend.I have never seen or heard my friend cry before,but tonight he's crying so hard and he's so hurt.My friend had depression too and I'm worried this will only make his depression worse.I can't stand knowing my friend is hurting so bad,I want to comfort him and help him feel better but I don't know what to do or what to say to mend his broken heart.

I feel so totally useless and helpless right now!! Does anyone know what I can do to help my friend??
