Absolutely agree. We all have moments when things get overwhelming and we feel we do not have the strength to deal with it all. The best response I have ever received when I felt this way was: I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Is there anything I can do to help? Another best is: I wish I could take away your pain. And-go ahead and cry, I will be here to hold you if you need me. No lectures about faith and God wont give you more than you can handle. To me that reinforces their feeling of helplessness and is very judgmental. Some people commit suicide because they can no longer cope. No one can fully understand the depths of someones sorrow or pain; sometimes all we can do is love them and be there to hold their hand through the darkness.
