When watching a TV programme the other day one character said he didn't know how to help someone he loved through a hard time. The advice he was given was "don't try and fix him, just support him". Great advice for anyone who is helping a loved one through a hard time and is not sure what to do to help.
Sometimes the right words are hard to find
but its ok to listen, I don't mind
sometimes its hard to know what to do
but you know, its just good to be with you

but I'll let you know if thats the case
sometimes through tears I can no longer see
and then a hug is the most help to me
Sometimes I know that I'm not myself
but please don't put me up on a shelf
sometimes when the pain is hard to bare
I just need to know that somebody's there
