If she is complaining about her past, then nostalgia is probably the wrong word. You might cry or become sad from nostalgia, but not complain.

OK. Can you try to rephrase your response? I can't tell you what to ask her.

Well, this sounds more like regret and discontent to me. I can't tell you that you can't say What's with the wave of regret and/or discontent, but I don't recommend it. Only you can determine what you want to say to your friend.
