takes the form of looking on as someone you care about agonise over problems, realising it is not within your abilities to do anything concrete to help alleviate their worries or pain and knowing that anything you say now (be it reassurances, encouragement, advice or opinion) will simply sound inadequate, so that when you open your mouth, attempting to break the silence, in a bid to engage him/her in a conversation, hoping there might be something you can do to take his/her mind off the difficulties, you crinch on the inside.
Do you stay beside him/her and just be there or do you walk away and give him/her the space he/she might need?
Difficult question?
Help.
I hope you are feeling better today.
