Making a friend feel better after break up.

[tovaris]

Hm, lets put it this way:
A friend of my has recently broke up with her bf, she isnt exactly feeling pechy in the light of this. What would be a good idea to lift her spirits?

In the early stages, distraction is a useful tool. Try taking her to do things she likes, see movies she likes, and be around friends she likes. Continuation of normality is really helpful for initially managing that sort of sadness. Once she manages to get over the initial grief, she may or may not want to speak about what happened, get it out of her system and achieve some closure. The best thing you can do for someone who is distressed is be their stable rock, unchanging, always understanding. Hope this helps, and she feels better soon.

I agree with this, but also respect her emotions. If she doesn't feel like doing much one day, don't pressure her. Sometimes a girl just needs a day to lay around and let out her emotions.

Exactly. This was just meant as a general guideline for the OP. Of course one has to use their brain and intuitive, to work out what is appropriate given the situation/circumstances.
