Holiday season is always tough. Add to that the fact she's going through a tough time with her relationship. I think the best thing you can do for her is be there. You say she looks bad and maybe you should take her out shopping for make-up and some clothes and try to lift her spirits. I think the worst thing we do when we go through tough times is letting all the bad things beat us mentally and physically. As for her husband, it is wise to watch his actions and try to recognize the signs if he's comtemplating suicide and if you see red flags don't ignore them either. I hope they both get better and I hope they're getting therapy. If they're not I think this is the time to start. I'll keep them on my thoughts and prayers.
