What to say to a friend after a break up?
Just be there for her. Just be there when she wants to talk. She might not want to but just remind her that your their for her. Tell her he wasn't ever worth it. Give her a hug. Help her tell him off. Go have a night in, eat ice cream from the tub, eat the whipp cream from the can, watch chick flicks. But mainly be there for her.

What to say to a friend who's father has cancer?
I have lived with cancer now for six years, having received a very negative diagnosis and given a few months to live. I liked people being practical rather then too emotional, ie; I will take your daughter to nursery school, pick up shopping if you need me too etc (I particularly enjoyed all the cakes people baked and baskets of fruit.) Let your friend know you are there for her and will do what ever you can to help. I found that my best friends were not much good when I was really in need whether because they could not cope (we were all mums of pre schoolers), or because I was no longer able to do things with and for them. Friends I would not have rated so highly pulled out all the stops and helped me and my family through it all. I still need and get help from time to time, but am often well enough now to take my share of school pick ups, play dates etc. Wish your friend and her family well, and be there in the background so she knows you are there is she needs you.......... Good luck to you all
What should I say to a friend whose mother has died?
First, I have to say "good for you" that you are going to use the phone and not email. I am horrified when people use email to inform others of someone's death and/or to respond. I had to get that said.When someone dies, we are always sorry regardless of how well we knew the person or what we thought of him or her. So, that is what you say: "I am so sorry to hear that your mom died."Next, we want our friend to know that we care. So, that is what you say: "f there is anything at all that I can do for you or the family, you will ask me, won't you?"Most people want to empathize with how painful this is for their friend. So, go ahead and say it: "I am sure you are really hurting OR this is just the hardest thing OR I know it's going to be tough going on without your mom's love to support you."When we have known the person well enough -- say in this case, your friend's mom had you over for dinner countless times or treated you like you were a part of the family -- we say something about how important they were to us. So, go ahead and say it: "I just loved your mom. She had such a wicked sense of humour. I am really going to miss her."Lastly, avoid platitudes. They are as empty as the thought that went into them. No, never, not at all say thing like these: I'm sure she's in a better place or she is at peace now or at least the suffering is over. further, the only appropriate occasion to mention anything religious or spiritual is when you attended the same church or shared the same faith. If not, stay off the subject.In short, the most important things to say are the simple, heartfelt things. Trust me. Those are the words that mean everything.It is nice that you want to be thoughtful about this. You must be a kind and caring person.
My best friend just got dumped. What should I say to her?
Things to say:It'll be okay. He doesn't deserve you.He left you for that slut?? Listen, you're seriously better off without him, if that's his taste in girls.What a slut she is.What a dick he is.They don't make any sense together. They're gonna fall apart real soon.She's going to ruin his life. What a mistake he just made.Things to do:Try and distract her, but don't do it in an annoying way. Some girls don't want you to distract them because they feel you think less of their mental pain by talking about other random stuff while she's suffering.Talk about anything that she cares about, and more importantly, ask her "What do you think?"If she likes dogs, get her to a place full of puppies. That'll overwhelm her so much she'll feel stupid for ever thinking about that other Bitch.Make her eat yumyum stuff (I'm not gonna put a picture of an ice-cream here, you know what ice-cream looks like, I'm sure). I've never understood it myself (I hate eating when I'm upset) but some of my girl friends have told me that they binge on everything they find when they're depressed. So go for it.Most importantly, make sure she realizes that you are there for her. She doesn't have to go through this pain alone. If she is usually a chatty person, make her talk. Let her talk and talk until she has let out everything and just doesn't want to think anymore. That's the first step to recovery.Things not to say:There are a lot of things you should not say to her even if it makes sense. She probably doesn't want to hear the bitter truth right now, she just wants her pain to be validated. With that in mind,It's okay. You guys didn't make sense any way.Oh damn you guys were perfect together. He was awesome. I'm gonna miss him.It's okay, I can be your boyfriend.Don't think, kiss me right now. (Refuse gently if she initiates this move as well. Big mistake to let it happen.)The other girl does actually seem better for him than you.They seem more of a perfect couple than you both. It's best you find someone else.Hey, you wanna listen to a "Yo Mama" joke?
What are some kind words to say to a friend with a sick parent?
Personally, I would perform the surgery than put a band aid to the cancer. Meaning that I would offer advice to my friend, rather than being nice. Since being nice does not solve the problem nor does it prepare your friend for an unexpected crisis.If I was nice I would say:"Don't worry, we are all here for you. You won't go through it alone. I'm here for you, your friend is here for you, and even this person is here for you. You see, we all care about you, we want to see you get through this.”If I was offering advice, I would say:I do not know what to say, nor do I know what to do, but I know neither of us wants pain. I know you are in pain, but I have not been in your situation, so how can I fully empathize? It is not that I do feel pain, quite the contrary, I feel it just like everyone does. We all have wailed, wept, sulked. The pain you feel is from a different source, I can only subside your pain, not eliminate it. You are to be alone in this journey.
