Teen DD struggling with break up - help

[SilverGlitterBaubles]

I'm at my wits end with 16 year old DD, she broke up with her boyfriend early this year and is struggling to come to terms with it. I think for a while she clung on to the idea that they would get back together but now he has moved on and is seeing another girl so DD is devastated. It is affecting her self confidence and she has lost all motivation for study. I am being as patient and supportive as possible, trying to cheer her up and getting her to look forward to all the great things that are ahead. She perks up for a bit but then she will see him around and the tears come again. I'm just so very worried about her.

Any tips or experience with this situation greatly appreciated. TIA

Keep on doing what you’re doing.

she’ll be ok, she just needs time. It’s difficult when you’re in the middle of it, but only time will help. In a few months (which will feel like years) she’ll be over him, and there will be something else to worry about. 💐

Yes that is what I am hoping. It is just getting her to that point where she is looking forward rather than back is so hard. She just will not let go. I remember heartbreak back at that age and it was hard but this is a whole other level of sadness.

It can be like this and I am going through similar with dd. New girlfriend is probably proper closure and so all the feelings are coming back..I don't have much more to offer other than it's half term now and hopefully she doesn't have to see him and then the summer will offer a proper break for her where hopefully she can distance herself emotionally.

Thank you @Travelban I think the new girlfriend has forced the issue that it is actually over which she is now having to process. I am also hoping the holidays will provide some distance for her to move on.
