I think, sometimes we can overthink when looking for a way to post to someone and be supportive. I think sometimes all it takes is a "Gee, I'm really sorry to hear you are having this issue. Have you spoken to so and so about it and done some brainstorming?"

In this way, you are showing interest, you are giving supportively of your time and it may help someone think further past their nose. I know when I'm in a tizzy, it's hard to see past my nose to a solution LOL.

We don't have to necessarily connect with another member and their issue to be supportive. But I think in responding supportively, even if only with a hug, we can all learn something from one another.....from there, you may have more to say than just a hug

Thanks for this!
