4. Let her know that you are there for her at any time...

Give her your email address and let her know that she can confide in you about anything at any time. If she needs someone to talk to, just to vent, or a shoulder to cry on you are just an email away. But like you said don't take this on as your own or you will be harming your own emotional health. Be supportive and open, make her feel that she can trust you with anything and hopefully in time she will open up to you if she doesn't have others around her who support her. That's really all you can do. Right now being in the hospital is the best, safest place she can be, even if it's scary. The nurses who work the psych wards are often some of the kindest people you could hope to meet.
