People In Hard Times

In my personal opinion the most important thing that you can do for someone that is going through a hard time is just asking the simple question "Is there anything I can do?" Hearing those words coming from another persons mouth, that hopefully cares about them, would just make their whole world a better place. No matter what it is they are having a hard time with...they know someone wants to help them succeed, wants them to come out of being stuck in a bad mood and be happier with themselves.
