1 . How to Help a Friend with a Broken Heart

It can be difficult to see a friend in pain, especially if she's just suffered a broken heart.     1     While you can't fix your friend's problems or take away her pain, you can support her in her healing process

Sometimes you just need a moment to be a little funny, a little serious and a little healing. If you have a releasing ceremony with your friend, it can provide all of these aspects. What you do is take objects that remind your friend of her ex(前任)，have your friend write a letter releasing her ex, or take a picture of your friend’s ex and throw it away.
