What is the best way to help someone get over a break up?

Just be there and listen with love and empathy. At times the best help is to be there for the person without not really "doing" anything. You can also spend time doing an activity which helps someone to cut off from the pain of breaking up...

Be there for them, remind them they are still gold before and after that person came into their life and that no matter what, they will not wither, devalue, or even rust. They need to know that they're still amazing and there are people there for them.

I believe the best way to help is to listen and be there for that someone who has went through a breakup. No judgement but pure empathy.

Embrace all of the stages. Do not encourage tears, or anger, or revenge, or binge drinking. Do not encourage anything that isn't self improving. But be there to support when you can. Understand, listen, cry with them. You won't help someone get over a break up. They have to do it on their terms. But you can be there to hold their hand, pull them back up, support them. You can be there. Let them go through the motions. Let them feel what they have to feel. Pushing them to do this or do that isn't proactive. They have to learn how to be self sufficient. You can support that.

Come to terms with how you feel and the pain you're experiencing. Learn from the break up. It sounds a lot easier than it seems because the learning happens over time. It's never going to be easy going through a break up. Only time can really heal and help you learn from it. Time also helps a person to adapt to life without the previous significant other. After a break up, it's best to focus on other aspects of life and how to improve good qualities. Using the break up as a learning curve is a great way to view it as well.

Be there for them. Breakups are hard and they are draining. Having friends around that care about them is the best feeling they can have in such a difficult time in their lives. Just be there in silence, be there to listen, be there to keep their mind off of it if that is what they need. Everyone handles breakups differently so ask your friend what they need from you and ask them how you can help. It will mean a world of difference. It is sweet to come to 7cups for advice for your friend, I think that is really great and makes you a good friend. Goodluck.

When you break up, you lose your partner, best friend and even more. It will not take a week but months or even a year to be able to get that person out of your head and heart and finally move on. Seeing a friend experience a bad breakup is disheartening. Some women handle heartbreaks badly. There are chances that your friend will want to text her partner and stalk him on social media especially Instagram hoping to see pictures of his 'new life'…her energy will be low at work, she'll lock herself up in the house all weekend and stop going to the places she loves. It is a problem when it gets to a point where she can no longer set boundaries. Say the right words and show her that she still has you and your friendship. Your friend will appreciate a third party to discuss her heartbreak with. Show your friend enough compassion and give her ideas to bring back her happiness, like suggesting dates while she takes some time off romantic relationships, self-care to find her worth again, meeting new people and creating beautiful moments with them. Get her out for dinner and night outs to keep her mind occupied. In her free time, she could read articles from relationship experts about broken heart, couples, love in order to get enough information to help her heal and learn. Don't panic if the healing process is slow, you will get there.

Encourage them to work on themselves. Getting over someone is never easy, but being able to feel as though you have personally improved can completely change your perspective on the situation. You can also encourage healthy comping mechanisms like surrounding yourself with loved ones such as friends and family. You can also encourage to have them take the focus off of something else like train for a marathon, pick up an art class, start reading a new series. Something to get their mind off of the larger issue. Doing this can change your whole thought process and ease the pain.
