5 Ways to Help a Friend Through Divorce
4. Do not advise
Do not advise the person to date when he/she is in a bad state of mind. It will take some time for them to move on practically and emotionally. Advising them to start a new relationship will not help them at all. Be with them when they need you.
5. Listen carefully
Emotional support means lending them a patient ear when they need you. Let the person pour out all the emotions of grief and sadness while talking to you. He/she will feel much lighter. Tell them that it is a rough phase and they have to be tolerant.
Supporting the person in this difficult time can make a difference. Just be there and assure the person that everything will be all right. With your support, the person will feel better.
