Laughing at someones problems is a way of dealing for some, not being anything bad or harm to that person, but it's just a way to release what we are feeling. I really don't know what to tell you, maybe he could spend a day or two on your sofa, if you know of anyone looking for employees, send him there to apply. Just be there if your friend needs a hand and say a pray for him.

Don't feel guilty, I think most people deal in there own ways, with crisis.
