She tells me that she doesn't find herself beautiful. And she doesn't believe anyone that calls her pretty unless it comes from him. She cries and tells me she loves him and that if anything happend to him she doesn't know what she would do. She's always unhappy and cries alot and I feel bad for her. I have no idea what to tell her.I need help! please any advice!What advice can I give her to move on?

She needs to get away from this person completely. aremove her from his orbit and take her out for a bit of fun. Gradually she will regain her confidence.

She clearly has low self esteem so that needs building up to start with, get her to changer her hair or take her shopping to buy new clothes or just a new dress - join a gym,cycle or get her jogging. Excersise makes you feel good. Go out at night so she sees there are other men - she doesnt have to date yet, just flirt
Refuse to listen to self pity or her talking about this man - change the subject. Or leave and come back next day.
Your actions will show her she has to move on
You are a good friend and she's lucky to have you around!
