How Can You Help When A Friend Gets Dumped?
Sunday, August 24th, 20081) Let them talk it out. They need someone to be with more than someone who thinks they have all of the answers.
2) Just hang out. Time is a great healer and it will take sometime for their hurting to subside. Just be there for them.
3) Don’t make it worst than it already is. Stay positive and don’t run the other person down. The truth is, it just didn’t work out. Besides, they may get back together and then where will you be?
4) Don’t let it become a ” men/women are jerks ” session.
5) Remind your friend that they are still a good person by telling them things you appreciate about them.
6) You are there to help them. Don’t try to turn the conversation to your own problems.
7) help them count their blessings, not their shortcomings.
Be willing to laugh with them as well as cry with them.
