Lost

I don't even know where to begin. I have a student who made a mistake and now her mom wants her to get an abortion. She doesn't want to. I told her it was her choice and that she'd have to live with the consequences of either choice. She is 5 months along. And showing. I can't even handle that fact. My conversation with this girl has really affected me. I don't want her to get an abortion. I wanted to yell at her and shake her. But I knew better. 

There is a couple that I know pretty well that is separating. I didn't realize they were having any problems until the wife announced he was moving out. She is hurt. He doesn't know what he wants to do. I believe that marriage is a commitment. One that is supposed to last forever. He isn't ready to reconcile and I'm having a hard time not being angry at him. Doesn't he see he's hurting her? And what about their son? 

In both of these situations I feel lost. I don't know where to begin or what to do.  My heart hurts.
