How I Show Up When My Friend’s Heart Breaks
Last month, I was curled up on my friend’s couch, both of us in pajamas, surrounded by empty tissue boxes. I never feel totally sure what to do in those moments, but here’s what actually helped:
• I just listened—no advice, no fixing, just letting her talk (and cry).
• Every few days, I’d send a silly meme or a quick “thinking of you” text, just to check in.
• When she needed a break from the heavy stuff, I’d invite her for pizza or a walk around the block.
• I also made sure to set some boundaries and take care of my own energy, too.
Everyone handles heartbreak differently, but just being there really mattered for both of us.
