Ask them what they need. It's likely simpler to help them than you're making it.

It's often by our flesh that we take action to help someone without asking what they need. We all mean well, of course. Sometimes in simply acting without asking we make it more difficult to help that person or even add to our own burdens in the process. Most of the time people who are hurting (loss, depression, etc) don't need another lecture, sermon, or false positivity. Instead, it's much simpler than that. It may just be a hug, your presence, or a listening ear without counsel they aren't asking for or needing.

Just ask. Make it easier on yourself and them.
