Requesting Guidance. But don't know how?

Recently I asked someone out, so we met for a walk, then we went for dinner too! All this time i remained silent! listening to her carefully and attentively, her stories about what she has been going through took me by surprise, and i couldn't really think of anything how to reply to those experiences! She told me she is trying to recover from something terrible and she is not looking for any kind of relationship or commitment, and right now solely focusing on herself! I said it's totally ok and i have no intention of causing any trouble! She has shared some stories with me which I can't share here but they are pretty serious! It's not like I am scared, i have gone through a similar situation a few years back and I am doing quite well now! But the problem is I kind of see myself in her! That pain, that suffering, that loneliness, that emptiness, I can feel everything! She reminds me of myself and now I want to help her but don't know how?? plz suggest something!
