How to maintain friendships when your romantic lives diverge in midlife

My best friend of twenty years is going through a divorce at 48 and I'm in a solid marriage, and lately every conversation feels like I'm either bragging about my stability or she's bitter about my happiness. We both want to preserve our friendship but we're navigating completely different life realities and I don't know how to show up for her without feeling guilty about what I have or resentful about having to hide it.
