There are many ways in which you can support someone who is experiencing a difficult life event. Offer practical assistance where possible, such as providing meals or helping with errands; listen to them without judgement, provide emotional and moral support through words of encouragement and understanding; connect them to resources they may need access to, such as financial advice or mental health professionals; take time to do activities together that they enjoy; and be patient with them while they adjust to the changes in their lives.
