When you have someone you care about going through a rough time, a natural tendency is to want to console them and give them advice. And this may be completely appropriate depending on the situation. Keep in mind too that sometimes all that is needed is for them to have some space to cry, mourn, grieve or simply talk, with no other input of yours than to give them you attention, your time, your compassionate, accepting space.
All of us need nurturing at some point, so make space too to give this type of nurturing when your opportunity arises. :)
