This is one of those times when it is important for you to step back and just be unconditionally supportive. How does he feel about it? Was it something she pushed for, but he was iffy about or the other way around? Was it a mutual decision? Your support for him and his girlfriend will be needed. Does she have support from her family? She might also need an adult women to talk to about her situation. Be understanding to how sensitive of a situation this and and how vulnerable they both must be right now. Don't completely avoid thinking about it, but be sensitive to how they want to handle this situation.
