Ways To Help A Friend Who Is Experiencing Tough Times

By John R. Merkel


One can go down the memory lane and while at it, identify two or more friends who seemed perfect only to disappear during hard times.

They are pretty obvious coming to think about it. You do not even need to labor hard to come up with two names. They clang around you when everything seemed to be rolling smoothly until one cloudy day when you were alone.

This is not some mud-slinging kindergarten furor; it is not to imply that there are perfect friends out there. The truth is that there are times even you will encounter friends who are under a grey cloud and have little to offer.

For this viewpoint, it is obvious why a number of people roll up their windows on you. Some people generally keep off when you have trouble simply because they do not know where to start in case they even feel like helping you. Anyway, you priority should be being within reach.

Again, you should not be duped to believe that you are the only concerned person. This is normally that feeling that there are only three parties in the world, you your friend and his problems. This not true! Your presence alone is important.

To the eyes of many friends who are suffering, your presence will normally be an encouraging factor and it is a comforting feeling to the person that is in need. It normally get a new burst of strength knowing that a friend or two is behind you.

There are a few gifted people who know how to play around with words in manners that lift other people. Soothing words seem to be the order of the day whenever these people are camped around you during those dark times. Not everyone is able to do that though.

Even when whatever you want to say is in your mind, putting it in words can be a tough agenda. You will always be caught up in a web of confusion. In the same argument, focus on small gestures which add up to a lot.
