When a pal is knee-deep in tissues and pints of Ben & Jerry’s post-breakup, it’s tough to know what to say. Even with the best intentions, you may find yourself at a loss for words, or worse, blurting out something totally lame. (Hey, have you heard of this thing called Sudy?)<\/p>\n

Things You Should Never Say to Your Pal<\/h2>\n

Avoid saying anything that could leave your friend feeling guilty, ashamed, or to blame for the split<\/p>\n

\u201cI know how you feel.\u201d <\/em>your friend knows she\u2019s not the first person in the world to suffer a heartache, right now all she is thinking about is her situation,This may lead to her feeling misunderstood, more isolated, and that you\u2019re dismissing her experience altogether.<\/p>\n

Your friend probably will find someone better, but now\u2019s not the time to start planning and plotting her next conquest.<\/p>\n

Refrain from implying that her ex is a bad person, or that getting with him or her was a bad decision in any way. Once in awhile, people get back together and all your friend will remember is what nasty things you said about her ex.<\/p>\n

Scrolling through a sea of potential suitors isn’t the best idea for your friend right now. Dating apps and websites will only delay and distract the grief your friend is experiencing.<\/p>\n

Your friend\u2019s no fool, she knows she needs to get past this\u2014\u201cYou just have to put this behind you and move on.\u201d\u2014 but it\u2019s a lot easier said than done.\u3001<\/em><\/p>\n

A lot of people try to be supportive by taking friends out and getting them drunk, but this can be one of the worst distraction tactics, as alcohol enhances feelings of sadness and despair.<\/p>\n

What You Can Do to Your Pal<\/h2>\n

If your friend\u2019s being really hard on herself, one of the best remedies is distraction\u2014and that\u2019s where you really come in handy, encourage her to take care of herself and propose activities that will make her feel better. Maybe that\u2019s going for a walk outside or grabbing brunch.<\/p>\n

Assure your friend that it\u2019s OK if she doesn\u2019t want to talk about it right now, but remind her that when she does, you\u2019re there to listen.<\/p>\n

One of the best things you can do is listen and not give too much advice in the beginning\u2014and definitely don\u2019t lecture her.Repeat back some of the things she\u2019s told you, so she knows you\u2019ve been listening intently.<\/p>\n

Instead, spend time together doing something fun, or get creative with different ways of making her smile\u2014like that involves looking through old photos from your awkward teen days.<\/p>\n

Your friend needs time to grieve, so you should let her do just that. People need to learn how to heal and cope on their own with the support of loved ones nearby.<\/p>\n

going to the movies, grabbing dinner, going for a walk, hitting the gym, etc. Do avoid heavy, sad movies, though!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
