Be there for them! When they are feeling down, give them a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on or just be a presence for them.

Be there for them and comfort them, its the best anyone can get. If they dont mind advice or being told certain things like it will pass or so on. then go from there.

You may think that eating ice cream or a lot of junk food will help and it does but after a while you might feel disgusted with yourself and feel worse I suggest eating fruit and just know that people come and go they always will.

Provide support and opportunities for that person to get their mind off of their breakup. Listen to their feelings when they do want to talk through them.

Be there for them when they need you. Listen to them and support them. Give them your time. Time is really important factor in a breakup as well as knowing you have somewhere there for you

Remind them that they are perfect. That there are over 7 billion people in the world and that just because one person treated them badly or wasn't "the one" doesn't mean that they are destined to die alone.

Best way is to be a ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. Always remind the person that there is a reason for the breakup and over time he/she will be laughing over the whole thing.

Getting over a break up is hard for a lot of people! To begin with it's important to understand that ending a serious relationship is like ending a chapter of your life. A lot of emotions will be going through this persons head so try not to rush them into automatically moving on from the situation. Take this person out to do something they really enjoy. If they like music, take them to a concert, or perhaps a karaoke bar. If they enjoy swimming, take them to a local water park or maybe the beach. This person is probably feeling down, and may want to do something they enjoy to make themselves feel better, so try to focus on something you know they love to do. However make sure you're not encouraging them to bottle up their feelings into things they love. Give them time to cry or mourn being careful not to let it go on for too long.
