So your best friend got dumped. Here are 5 tips for helping them move on, and move forward.

1) She's going to cry... a lot.

This is natural. Almost everyone cries after a breakup, even if it was their idea. It's awkward watching someone else cry. Try not to nervous laugh or change the subject. Be a shoulder to cry on because nothing you can say or do is going to make them stop.

2) Don't be too pushy

Give your friend a week to be sad. If they want to cry and lay in bed, let them do it. They're going to want to text their ex or watch sad movies, let them. No matter how many times you tell them what to do, they are going to do whatever they want. There's no right way to fix a broken heart.

3) Become VERY pushy.

After the week is up, start pushing. Stop allowing them to focus on their sadness and remind them how much fun being single can be. Breakups make people extremely vulnerable, don't let your bff embarrass herself. Block her ex and let her know that the time for crying is over.

4) Remind her who she is

It's easy to forget who you are in a relationship. Remind your bestie that whatever emotions she is feeling at the moment aren't permanent. Eventually, she won't even remember the guy's name. But for now, remind her that she's a badass and can make it through anything.

5) Be supportive, but not consumed.

It's easy to get caught up in the drama of someone elses problem. Remember, some people are addicted to being sad. Don't allow your friends problems to become your own. There's a fine line between being supportive and allowing yourself to become a punching bag.
