How Do You Help Someone Through a Difficult Time?

I've been thinking about this recently. Unfortunately, I know a few people going through a tough time right now—very different circumstances but difficult just the same.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer because everyone and every situation is unique. But when you aren't sure what to do and words feel empty, perhaps the answer is quiet support.

Love.
Listen.
Be there.
Be patient.
Be understanding.
Pray.
Give.
