How to help a friend get over a break up?

She is not ready to deal with this break up yet....she has not even faced the fact that there was a break up...she is currently begging them to come back! I would be there to listen to her when she needs a shoulder...I also would not "bad-mouth" the guy because if she gets here way...they will end up together again.. When she realizes that they are not going to get back together....then she will be ready to move on with her life. Maybe you can help her by showing her all of the positive things in her life...plus, if he does not want to be there...then why would she want him back??? It is very difficult to see your friend in pain and miserable because of someone else....Just being there for her will mean the most to her, my friend.... Matters of the heart are always difficult...when they go bad or the love is not returned...

It is really tough question for onlookers, because she cannot recover until she herself wants to. Time heals. Just give her some time to indulge herself in the temporary depression, because it is neccessary before recovery. Then, apart from time, tears are the other things that can wash everything away. Enjoy crying and pouring out all she had suffered. All of these takes time, and I can understand that kind of feelings when we cannot help out friends get rid of what they are suffering. Anyway, believe in her and the most important, always support her by her side. That is what friendship means, isn't it? I think, though lost in the love affairs, she is still lucky enough for having such a sincere friend as you. Love is not everything of one's life. Have some faith and be strong.
