When the world seems heavy on his shoulders,
do not first seek ways to help.
Do not search for solutions and constantly
blur out the names of different problems.
It will only awake frustration in him.
Remind him of your existence and
communicate that you are there when needed
without overemphasizing it.
It is not a ‘man thing’ not want to talk about
it when disappointment is overwhelming and
anger steals the voice.
It happens to all of us.
Therefore, let your existence be his comfort,
your patience be his support,
and your presence his escape from the noise.
“Just be there for him.”
