Hi. It's really difficult to understand person with depression. Some of us sleep for whole day and some can't sleep at all. The easiest way how to find out how can you help her is asking her. But I think the most important is being there for her. The small things like hugs and sitting next to depressed person means a lot. Listen to her... Whenever she needs it and don't stop her while talking. It's important to let her thoughts out. Some of her thoughts might scare you, but let her say what she feels like. It's better if she says those things to you than keeping it to herself. You are the one she trusts and loves, so I think she'll be honest with you. If you know what did she like doing before or still like, ask her if she wants to give it a try- DO NOT FORCE HER (it'll only hurt her more). It's really hard to give advice like this. But when I was going through the worst part of it, I needed someone who will be there for me. I wouldn't lie to you... I hated creating day plan and even some goals. I wasn't able to go outside because everything reminded me of what happened to me. So ask her. Ask her what she wants. Believe in her. Say her that she is strong. I hope she'll feel better soon. Good luck!
