chunkymunky agony auntyou cant nessicerily say anything to make her feel better but just being there for her will help her loads. Don't bother saying any of those sayings like 'plenty more fish in the sea' because if shes just got out of a relationship then it's a rather insensitive thing to say (especially if she wanted that fish!) but have lots of girly nights in and give each other manicures and eat chocolates and watch good old girly movies. Make her realise she doesnt need her ex to make her happy, and he obviously didnt know what he was missing out on. hope everythings ok :D x x x

Just be there for her. Don't make the mistake that most people do and start bashing the ex or saying how she's better off without him. If she's having trouble getting over him, she probably loved him very much and bashing HIM only hurts HER. Just tell her that it's gonna get better. You don't stop the pain of losing someone, you just sorta learn to live with it, and then one day you realize it doesn't hurt as much.

bellachic385 agony auntTalk her out to dinner, a sleepover, dancing, or just walking and scope out other guys. Try and reienforce that there are "more fish in the sea". Chocolate is always a good thing. Getting a break up hair cut is a great idea it is like he is physically out of my life. It might be a long process but let he know that you are there for her at this time. When she is ready delete the # from he phone.
