How to lovingly support someone who is experiencing Hopelessness and Depression

‘Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.’  ~Norman B. Rice

If you have a friend or loved one who is experiencing hopelessness or depression, it can be difficult to know exactly what to say or do. While there isn’t any one magic thing to say that will alleviate their pain, there are many ways to offer support.
