Menopause has nothing to do with bipolar disorder. They are completely separate.
Here's a list of menopausal symptoms. Read it, and just be normal. Being supportive doesn't require a trick or any advanced information. Just be a nice person if she asks for your help. Don't try so hard.

I just wanted to add that 40 is a little young for full blown menopause unless she has a complete hysterectomy or some other medical reason. I agree with Edahn - just make yourself known that you are willing to listen and be of help. Good thing she's a nurse and knows about these things. If you go on Google you can look up anything there.
Good luck.
