I have a dear friend who has been going through a very hard time lately - a bad depression, and now she has been heartbroken over something. What can I do to help her? Currently, she is ignoring my calls and e-mails, which I'm sure is because she can't bear to face anyone right now. I feel terrible for her and want to help, but I don't know WHAT or HOW.

This friend means a lot to me, and I feel guilty I wasn't able to help her before it got to this point where she is completely and utterly heartbroken. Can I help her now? Will she listen to me? I have the feeling she's completely shutdown and closed herself off from the world right now. My heart breaks for her.
