What Can I Do?

[melspeth]

What do you do when you have a friend who is dealing with so much, but sharing so little of it? My heart aches to reach out and offer help, but while they seem so open about some things, others are just now coming to light and I wonder if I've been any help at all? Do I offer the help and support? Or do I shut up and wait for them to feel

sometimes it's hard for us to ask for help.

sometimes it's so hard to be so vulnerable.

and sometimes we just don't want to share our burdens with others because they have their own burdens to deal with as well.

Thank you for your reply. As someone who is fairly open about my troubles, I sometimes forget that others aren't. I appreciate getting your point of view :) *hugs*
