Heart break
 

How do you deal with heart break, not your own per se, but in witnessing the sadness of another?

Depends on what the issue(s) is/are.

Everyone deals with heartbreak differently JL, there is no ' one way for all '
I personally find it's very difficult to witness the pain and sadness of others because I feel that no matter what I do or say is inadequate, but then I think that I am being egoistic because it shouldn't be about me...
I have found that just flowing with my own heartbreak /pain, not wasting my energy trying to stop it then I can use my resources to help the other person/persons deal with their heartbreak /pain.
Just being there for them 100% surely must be a comfort...

***

If the consciousness of the other does so allow
We may suggest that they follow
The pulse of pain getting to the cause
Being not in the event but forgetfulness to pause
Their attachments in the domain ephemeral mind body begot
Suffering being but self inflicted pain magnified by thought

***

just be there for them and listen to them.

Being there for them letting them know they are not Alone. being a shouldr to cry on, and support them


Namaste

I don't mind lending others a hand (as long they would do the same to me) but I'm afraid heartbreak is beyond my power to fix. Not too keen on getting involved in the drama of other people, as I've already got my own hands full.

I agree.

Gently, and attentive to the sufferer's needs, not how you "know" to be better.

Thanks friends

I feel my own break so often at the pain in the world
