If you're going to make me cry, at least be there to wipe away the tears.

An earsplitting cry broke me out of a deep slumber at seven this morning.  Between that and the heavy pitter patter going up the steps I became quite confused.  Turns out it was my sister's way of waking me up.  I quickly dashed upstairs to see what was wrong.  She handed me a piece of paper and broke out in loud sobs.  It was a note from her boyfriend of 6 months. He had left in in her car the day before. In it he said that he was a different person than when they first started dating and because of that he could no longer see her anymore.  No real explanation. No face to face contact to break it off.  My heart plummeted downward into a spiral.  This situation seemed so familiar.  As my sister sat crying she asked me why this happened and why he wasn't willing to give her the closure that she so desperately needs.  I was speechless. How do you tell someone that the person they love doesn't want to see them anymore?  How can I give her any advice when my heart has finally made peace with my own situation?  When I saw her sitting on the coach like that, it reminded me so much of myself several months ago.  Even if I tell her that the hurt will eventually go away, that won't help her right now.  I want to help her so badly but I don't know how :(
