It's can be awkward to help a friend go through a breakup. 💔 It's hard to know the right things to say or how be there for them. One of the most important things you can do is #SeizetheAwkward 🤝 and reach out to your friend in need. ❤️ Start by asking how you can best support them during this time. Emphasize to your friend that you're here for them and are available to listen.👂Let them know it's okay to be sad, angry, hurt, or feel whatever they're feeling. Avoid jumping to the "silver lining" and saying things like "You'll find someone else." or "Everything happens for a reason." These phrases, though they mean well, can lead to invalidation. Remind your friend of their worth as an individual and encourage them to practice self-care. 💌 Set boundaries for yourself as you help your friend and encourage your friend to seek professional help. Simply being there for your friend is very impactful. #LoveIsWM 💚💛
