Sometimes the best way to support a friend is witnessing their struggle.  It's like watching them do rock climbing for the first time.  You can see all the support ropes and harnesses keeping them safe.  And you can see them start up and maybe they get scared and climb back down.  I understand that urge to run up to them, tell them where they need to grab hold, of how they need to do it.  Please resist that urge, wait for them to ask for help.  Watch them as they look at the rock and figure it out, watch as they find the courage and strength within themselves.  Watch as they start up.  From your perspective you may see more clearly where the next best handhold is, don't call out.  Let them feel for it.  Witness their learning, witness their progress up the rock.  Rejoice in their ability, in their perserverance.  Let them climb.
Love and Light.
