Breakups can be brutal. Help your friend cope with the pain of a breakup by letting them share their side of the story. During this time they are in need of a listener and empathizer rather than a know-it-all guide. When they seem to get better, you can help them see the bigger picture. After they are a bit in control you can cheer them up with uplifting breakup quotes, good movies, books, and friend-dates.
