There’s not much you can do. Talk to her / email her , how ever you communicate and let her know she’s not alone and ask her how you can help...

Yes, unfortunately she's the one who needs to get help and there isn't a lot that you can do. Be near her and support her. Remind her that you'll ALWAYS be there for her. Other than that, though, it's up to her! Be kind to yourself and to her as well of course. Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Starkfull, your Family, your Friends, Your Friend and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking BOTH OF YOU VERY MUCH NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!

Hello Starkfull: I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.

As others have already written, under the circumstances, I don't know as there is much you can do. However here are links to 5 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that may be helpful to you in at least better understanding the situation:

Denial is a Powerful Impediment to Treatment

Helping Someone With Suicidal Thoughts: Reach Out to a Friend Today

10 Questions and Answers to Help Prevent Suicide

Frequently Asked Questions About Suicide

How to Survive Suicidal Thoughts

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
