So I had to listen to about 20 mins of my friends voice cracking and seeing literal tears coming down her cheeks because of some relationship bullshit. Long story short and because it’s not my story to tell, her bf cheated on her and repeatedly lied to her, she found out from their group, and they broke up over a phone call.

She’s so heartbroken and fucked up over this and I don’t know what to do or say? Like I’ve gone through two breakups with kind of similar situations but I didn’t get fucked up like this. She was in like almost a year relationship and she’s crying and it hurts so bad to see her like this. I want to help but I have no idea how...

Have you guys helped friends get over breakups? Or what’s some advice you’ve gotten yourself? Cuz I honestly don’t even know what to say. I’m so pissed and angry and sad and my chest hurts and I can’t even help her, like what the fuck?

Just be there and available as a friend. Be understanding and validate her feelings. Listen to her speak and hug her when she’s really down. Buy her a coffee or lunch. Take her to a movie or watch a movie on tv. Try and get her mind off what’s on her mind

Then hire some bad ass guy in the hood to kick her ex’s ass for being a dickhead like that

Give her emotional support but
don't judge her. Let her cry it out.
Go out shopping or for lunch to get
her mind off bad feelings.

Just listen and try to do distracting activities with them. At some point it is also okay to give them a push if they need it to move into new things.
