Could you help me with the grammar please? :)
Thanks for your letter. I was so sorry to hear your news. I know you must be really worried. I think that sometimes people have very difficult situations but there are always solutions. It sounds like a really difficult situation, but you try to calm your emotions. I know it's not easy, but you have to try. You must think what the most important to you, is your future, and you will see many interesting things!
Try to distract yourself with other things like hanging out with friends, doing sports, and most importantly, you have to believe what the most important is for you. In due course someone will come into your life that will make you very happy and really you will love, give it time. Perhaps not today, tomorrow will be. But now you must try to concentrate on studying.
If that would help you can come to my house this weekend and we can study together, I think it's a good idea, then we can order pizza and talk of many things. When you finish your exams we can organize a trip!. I think you'll feel better afterwards. Call me when you want, I will always be to listen to you! As I told you, sometimes people have very difficult situations but always there is a light for us.

Bienvenido al foro y SpanishDict. Me gusta mucho su conversación con su amigo, su gramática es genial. Espero que usted progresa rápidamente.
"I was so sorry to hear your news." This should probably be changed to "I am so sorry to hear your news." 'Was' implies that you are over what bothered you, though 'am' implies that you are still sorry.
"...but you try to calm your emotions." 'You' can be left out here.
"You must think what the most important to you, is your future..." Just a slight change to "You must think of the most important thing to you, your future..."
"...hanging out with friends, doing sports, and most importantly, you have to believe what the most important is for you." The correct sentence would be "...hanging out with friends and doing sports; most importantly, you have to believe in what is most important to you." The semicolon prevents the sentence from becoming a run-on since the first part is an actual activity while the second part is just believing in something. A semicolon is also a shorter break between sentences than a period.
"...that will make you very happy and really you will love..." Slight change to "...that will make you very happy and will really love you" or 'you will really love.'
"Perhaps not today, tomorrow will be" to "Perhaps not today, but tomorrow maybe."
"...then we can order pizza and talk of many things." 'Of many things' can be left out, just 'talk' is understood.
"...I will always be to listen to you" to "I will always be there to listen to you!"
"...very difficult situations but always there is a light for us" to "...very difficult situations but there is always a light for us."
Great work on this, Leonor! Welcome to the Q&A forum.

It sounds like a really difficult situation, but you can try to calm your emotions. I know it's not easy, but you have to try. You must think about what is most important to you-- your future--and you will see many interesting things!
