Man, that is a really tough one. I remember when my g/f of 3 1/2 years broke up with me (i was positive we were going to get married some day), and it felt like my life had ended. Your friend is probably having a rough time trying to sort out his emotions right now. He might be feeling a whole combination of sadness/anger/confusion/apathy. The best thing you can do, from my own experience, is to keep him active by doing things with him. I don't know what your friendship is like, but whatever you two like to do, do it. Let him know that you're there for him, and that he can talk to you. See if you can get him to talk about what bothers him about the relationship ending, and then see if you can get him to talk about where he wants to go from here. Most of all though, and this is the most difficult part, the only thing that will truly end up healing the damage is time. It's been almost four years since my g/f broke up with me, and I'm still not 100% over it. So just hang out with him and be a good friend, like I'm sure you are since you obviously care about his welfare. Let him know that. It won't be easy, for you or for him, but that's what friends are for, right? Getting through the tough times. I hope that you're able to help him out cursive! Good luck.
