What do you do when you become the bearer of someone else's greatest secret?

I never imagined how close a friend of mine was to me until today. Maybe because I have still not opened up completely to her, but non the less I was shocked when today she came home and poured out her heart to me. Honestly I was not ready for this. I was not ready at all. And here she was telling me everything that had gone wrong from day one of her marriage and how she was so fed up that she needed to go for a divorce. I was so shocked that could not respond. I told her to wait for a few days, so I could analyse all that information and then maybe come up with a solution for her. But honestly how can I even imagine that I would be able to advice her. I am in such a total fix. How does a person think that he can decide for another? I am sure from her talk that she had already made up her mind, only needed someone else to say its okay. But is it really okay? Honestly the only way I can imagine coming up with a solution is if I put myself in her shoe. But I am such a different person. I would have handled the whole thing differently from the word GO, but if I were where she is today I would have definitely gone for a divorce. I want to tell her to go to a marriage counsellor because they are professionals and the real people who can actually help, is this right?
