Dear Brian Cyr,

Sounds like you’re a really good friend 🙂

My sister is also going through a break up and all around her are trying to make her feel better. No one wants to see someone they love in pain. But there is pain. And my sister and your friend will have to go through that. And we have to let them. If your friend wants to cry, let her cry. If she wants to talk about it, let her talk.
I do try to gently remind her that this also will pass. And in the mean time i just show up at my sisters house with chocolate and i let her talk about it when she wants to.

Good luck!
