Everyone who is heartbroken at that moment deserves not a simple sorry but a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on.

1. Support their feelings

Make your friend feel understood and support that the situation isn't fair at all. Listen to what they tell you and treat the details with the utmost confidentiality.

According to Suzanne Lachmann, the grieving process after a  break up takes time and it is good to be patient with them and allow them to make their own paths.

2. Forbid them from contacting the ex

Discourage them from talking to their ex. Explain to them that it has happened. Checking on the ex will awaken pain, frustration and sadness.

3. Have a day out together

Choose a place neither of you has been to before, have fun, try out new experiences and enjoy nature. This will help them blow away breakup feelings.
