Broken Heart - Talking to Person with Broken Heart

Listen to the Entire Lesson

Talking to someone with a broken heart

"Time is the only thing that can heal your heart."
"It takes a while, but eventually, you'll be yourself again."
"I know it's painful, but it's only temporary."
"It's normal to feel this way. It's one of the most painful things."

"You have to move on."
"You need to get over him."
"There are plenty of girls for you."
"There are a lot of fish in the sea. You shouldn't feel bad about losing one."
"I'm confident that you'll find a better guy."

If your friend is trying to get over a person, it is good to concentrate on the bad things.

"He wasn't good to you. It's actually better that you guys broke up."
"I know you're hurting, but it was for the better."
"He was a jerk. You must realize that your situation is much better without him."
"I don't know what you saw in her. She wasn't good to you."

"I also know you must still have strong feelings for her, but try to think of the bad things. You know she didn't treat you that well. Is that the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?"

It is also good to talk about your experience and how you overcame the pain. If they see that you experienced it too, they will be more receptive to what you have to say.

"I remember my first break up. It was the worst feeling in the world. I was crying everyday for three months. And slowly, it got better. I know you'll feel better too."

"My first break up was pretty painful. It took me two years to get over her. I was still crying after 6 months. But it felt good to move on. I knew there was a better girl for me. I know there is a better girl for you."

"I sometimes had bad thoughts too. I thought that it would be easier to die than live with the pain. But you know it's wrong. I'm so glad that I dealt with the pain. I'm now a stronger and better person."
