Tips To Comfort 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.

It is at that time that some people choose to simply lay their hands off. They will avoid you at that darkest hour for lack of any ideas about what to do. Still, it is not the best thing that one can do whenever you were in need. You should be with them at least.

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.

There are times when all you can do is all that matters anyway. There is nothing that feels as good as a friend who is around there encouraging you and comforting you when lights are flashing before you. You get strength to take on adversaries.

To some people, it is almost their talent, figuring out which exact words to say to a friend who is nursing wounds. Their words are so soothing and will go a great deal in lifting you from that dark hole and placing you almost at a point you never thought you will reach.

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.
