Need advice about heartbreak

So I need some advice. My sister is 23 and she met someone on here that she hit it off with. They even had tentative plans to meet for her birthday in the spring. Everything seemed to be good. I think there was some kind of disagreement and now she is completely heartbroken. This happened a few days ago. We had plans to go to a hockey game tonight (Saturday evening) but she's not interested. We had plans for yesterday too, but she didn't want to go anywhere. She doesn't want to do anything but stay in her room. She's had boyfriends before, but I've never seen her this heartbroken over a guy or feel this low about herself. What can I do to help her? Is there anything I can do? I've raised her since she was a pre-teen so I feel so helpless right now. If you have any advice for me, that would be great. If you have any words of encouragement for her, I will pass them along to her.

if I could say one thing to her is use this as a learning experience. heartbreak is a part of putting yourself out there to find love. its happened to all of us myself included. I always look at break ups like a teaching moment. how can I better handle this next time. where did I do wrong. what were the red flags I didn't see or ignored what not.

It sounds like it’s only been a few days so she still may need some more time to process it. They say time heals all wounds and I do think that often is the case. I think just listening to her and giving her some space to process this is best. Let her know there will be someone great for her at the right time.

Just hug her and clue her in about internet romance, show her stats on how rarely it works out

And how special it is to find anyone compatible anywhere. Make sure she really understands..

Then take her out for something special...

Just be there for her. Hug her. Eat ice cream with her. Do things with her. But also give her space when she needs it.

The presence of someone welcome alone is a wonderful and mysterious help to healing :)

Just be there for her however but it sounds like a blessing in disguise that it fell through

Seems a bit over-the-top. Remind her it's time to grow up... in a nice, soft, and reassuring way.

Relatable. I am sorry.

Poor baby. All you can do is support her. She just needs a little time, or a bit of time. Some healing time.
You sister met someone here she's heartbroken over?

@PepsiColaP Yeah. Not gonna criticize her for that since I went through that back when chat rooms for a thing.

Give her the time she needs. Only she can decide when she's ready.

Best you can do is be an ear and be available.

@jshm2 Mentally she’s an adult. And not that it should matter, but I left out details out of respect for her and the guy.
