How do I console my girlfriend about her eye injury?

My girlfriend was in a car accident 3 days ago and got a serious eye injury that has blinded her eye. She lives with me and she don't have much family, so its just me and her friends consoling her.

Whats the best way to help her get though this and not get too depressed?

Try to find out what her fears are and dispell them. Also, reasure her that
1. You love her and always will
2. Lots of people lead full lives with only one eye
3. She is and will always be beautiful

That is so sad :o( but the outcome could have been alot worse - she could have lost her eye as well as her sight so cosmetically she will look ok.Try and reinforce the positive points - she could have lost a limb or at worst her life.
keep reassuring her that you love her & that she is beautiful to you.
