Idk what post is this
Just a random thought:
People are different.
They have different thoughts and opinions, different tempers, different thresholds of pain/hurt/anger. They handle situations differently.
It's an entire process. A journey. Self-discovery, if you may call it. You can advise all you want but in the end it is up to the person's own discretion to heed your advice (or not). I know you want the people you love to not hurt, but there are some things in life that we will eventually figure out by ourselves and that will inevitably and invariably consist of several processes of "breaking our own heart" before we finally see the light.
Idk where im going with this but bottom line - let them hurt and let them heal, just be there for them but dont tell them what to do. Don't say that they're doing it wrong, don't look down on their methods of coping, don't impose your own principles on them.
A listening ear is good enough.
