I think to just be there, for now, is important. Let her express whatever she needs to express, hold her, BE there.

I attempted suicide almost 20 years ago. It was no one's responsibility but mine. While I'm very appreciative of the experience and everything it brought me, I wasn't in my right mind at the time.

Eventually, to talk about how it's not her responsibility, that he made a choice, etc. might be the right thing.
