How friend groups navigate loyalty when one person divorces

Three of us have been best friends since college and now that Sarah's going through her divorce, Maya and I don't know how to be there for her without taking sides against her ex who we also care about. We're all walking on eggshells and our group text has gone quiet for the first time in fifteen years, but none of us knows how to say what we're really thinking.
