A friend of mine is recently heartbroken and I just wanted to help her but I don't know how. We are here for her and I know she knows it yet still she is really depressed and it can't be avoided right? What do you do to cheer up a friend? Or just suggest things to do to divert her thoughts.

It has always been a fact that there is a grieving period. It happens to everyone of us. I have been through it myself. We need time to adjust. It does not really matter what we do to try and cheer up a friend, it has to run its course.

Sometimes, all you can do is be there for the person. She'll fall in love again, and the pain of this heartbreak will be just a distant memory. However, when you are within that sort of pain, there is nothing your friends can do or say that can truly convince you of that.

Hi vycess!
Whenever I have a heartbroken friend, I don't really do anything about it, I just stay with her and let her feel that I am just with her ready to listen and to help her. I don't usually give unsolicited advises, I just wait for her to open up...
And to cheer her up...well sometimes we just talk as if nothing bad happens or sometimes we are still able to joke about it...we just take things lightly!

just give her some time to heal. that would be the best remedy for her now. and tey as hard as you can not to talk about her heartbreak because it will only remind her of the pain. take her out, distract her and have some fun with her. she'll be able to move on faster if she doesnt think about her problems

Well I am sorry your friend is heartbroken. I would suggest if she needs to talk be there to listen. I would also ask her now and then if she wants to get out of the house, just you and her. Go hang out and have fun to get her mind off things. It would help a lot. I know I would want my mind to get off things even if only for a little while. =)

Yeah well if you are heartbroken it's hard to laugh eh. You don't want to talk always though sometimes you wish you could. You would like to forget and get distracted but memories come back over and over. All you know for sure is you don't want to bother your friends but you are sure glad you have one. Sorry is about the only word you know.
