A friend in career need
My friend doesn’t know how to research situations and make the right decisions for herself. She worked for an Internet company that went bankrupt, so she lost her job and her health insurance. In addition, her husband left her, so she was not in a good frame of mind.
THAT’S what friends are for — to serve as guides for friends who may become overwhelmed in times of need.
Some people are stronger than others and can stand up to a greater number of stressful situations, but it is not up to friends to judge whether those friends should be able to function properly. If your friend is falling apart, offer to do the health insurance research for her; help her revise her résumé so she can start a job search. Guide her into counselling if she can’t handle being alone at this time.
