LOVE. LOVE. love. How great to love and be loved. LOVE: great word, happiness, compassion and etc. BUT, how can it be so painful? so tragic? so ..... i don't know.. Last night, we had a party. As usual we had so much fun dancing, singing and drinking. I went to the CR to pee, then i went back to my seat. i passed on to my sister then, she suddenly grabbed my hands and hugged me tightly. i was so puzzled because i don't know what happened. then, she cried. That's when i realized she was crying because of his ex boyfriend. i hugged her tightly and soon one of her friends comforted her. She was crying deeply, even me and her friend cried. i was trying to hold back my tears but i can't. i could really feel her pain even though i haven't experienced it. i admit i am angry with his ex bf. i know time will heal the wounds but it's gonna take too long. i am so worried with my sister even though i know she's acting okay. i really don't know what the right words to say. the only thing i could do is to comfort and hug her. what should i do besides comfort? is it enough? :(

everyone experiences this and gets it though and moves on ,that's the way we grow up in.i know it's hard when you meet someone means a lot to you ,only to find out in the end it was never meant to be and you just have to let it go .but that's what life is .the best way to get rid of the hardship is to get into another relationship asap

Well what can I say? Love is the most complicated feeling we could ever have. When a person is in love, we couldn't think right and it's hard get away the person from our mind no matter what we do.. I think your sister can move on if she doesn't harness the sweet memories they had and just think that the person is not worthy of her time. That would help. One of the lessons I have learned in life is to never give your 100% to the person you love, leave something for yourself. Save your heart from breaking into pieces.. I guess, I always have great reservations when it comes to loving someone coz I love myself that much, I don't want to hurt my own self, so I guess I deserve someone who will treat me as own body. A person who is not concerned about how would you feel is not worthy of any single second of your thoughts. So tell your sister to move on and stop cherishing the good memories she had with that man.

I have experienced this a a couple times before. everyone is different some people a hug and a friend or sister is enough some people, need to hear the words that everything will be ok and have a talk that she will find someone better that she might not think so now but, she will see. Love can really mess with your mind and your thoughts and it can be really painful, but you have to learn to let go to be able to fully move on.

All you can do is be there for her. You don't want to go getting in her business and choosing sides and all that.
