When you are going through something hard what kind of support do you need?
Do you need someone to witness your struggle? Stay with you, support you, but still allow you to figure it out.
Do you need someone to help you? Step in, do some of the work, take something off your plate.
Do you need someone to offer you a distraction? Crack a joke, go for a walk with you, offer an alternative activity to take your mind off the problem.
In each situation, the thing that we need may be different and we can ask do you need a witness, help, or a distraction.
