Honestly problems of the heart are way difficult to mend. Why? because it's not the brain that is telling you to stop but the heart and it takes time. As a friend we often make some mistakes that we say words that is pleasing to the ears of your friend to help your friend cope up but there are instances that your friend who is having problems needs to hear some harsh words so that your friend can see the other side of the problem.You can tell your friend that there are more deserving guys out there and she doesn't have to cry for that guy always.Accepting that her boyfriend has a new girlfriend now is hard but tell your friend not to let her self suffer from it instead do things together that will help her forget about her heartaches.Go on a vacation,meet new friends and indulge yourselves to a hobby like social groups, art groups,dance groups things that you like doing when you are together maybe by engaging in those groups she might meet her potential partner.

That is unfortunate to hear about. However, as her friend, just be there for her and comfort her. This is the time when she will need someone to talk to. Let her express her feelings, that will make her feel better. Tell her that things happen for a reason and that she should always look to the bright side of life. Cheep her up, you can go to places where she will enjoy.

Just listen to her when she need to talk. I have not had a b/f that did not break up with me but my 4th b/f has not broken up with me. When I have a friend or family member that has broken up with someone I always try to take them out to try and have a little bit of fun by either going to a movie or just going out.
