Recently, a close friend’s family hit a patch of unexpected unemployment. She has spent the week in a funk, nervous about paying bills, nervous about making rent. She is a very good friend and I have helped her out in the past. She resents this, however, because she thinks of it as accepting charity I myself can ill-afford.

How do you help people having a rough time? How do you help them see through to the light at the end of the tunnel?

Please comment. It would be nice to discuss with others.
