My friend was abandoned by her partner. She still is not recovered because she is very angry. Is it better if she starts to forgive once she settles down with her anger or is it better to go ahead now with forgiving, as she is motivated to do so?

Most people need a time to be angry and to adjust to the trauma of injustice before starting the forgiveness process.  At the same time, if a person has settled down to some extent and is still angry, the forgiveness process can aid in the reducing of that anger.  So, a central question is this: Is the anger still very fresh in which case she needs time to settle down and process some of the anger or has she done that already and therefore is ready to start forgiving?  You might consider asking her this question.
