Reply To: “My Niece Is Hurting”

Yes! Doing something fun with your niece would go a long way if you’re able. Plus, anytime I’ve experienced a break up, I liked to keep myself busy and surround myself with people I enjoy spending time with. Showing her how to handle the heartbreak would probably be super helpful. Like, “this is what worked for me” kind of thing.

So for me, it was anything that wouldn’t let my mind wander for too long. Talking to friends. Venting. Being around people. Reading a suspense book. It may look different for someone else, but figuring out coping mechanisms will definitely help.
