I have friends that I can say, "I'm not in a great place myself. I don't know that I have the personal resources to talk, but please know I'm thinking about you." We've even gone as far as to decide to get together to just have lunch or something, agreeing to use each other's company to just get away from our burdens for a few hours. My son and I have done that a lot in the last six months. We just chose to watch a movie or browse through some stores or go to the zoo rather than think and feel. Sometimes actively choosing to put things aside for a few hours is really healthy.
