That is very unfortunate, and your inclination to simply remain being her friend is probably a good one.
Were I in a similar situation, and a friend like this sought my counsel, I would probably try to find a way to help them recall moments when they felt the witness of the Spirit about the truth of the gospel. I would probably also note how sometimes we do not always understand the meaning of all things, neither the reasons why we receive certain commandments. Examples of this are plentiful through the scriptures, old and new.
It is always better--though not easier--to seek humility and approach with patience things that we do not understand.
Good luck.
