If someone close to you is feeling sad it can be disheartening. There’s nothing worse than seeing a friend or a loved one in pain and feeling down.

In life, there will be peaks and valleys, when a person is in a prolonged valley life can be particularly challenging. We all experience times in our life when things don’t work out as planned to leave us feeling down in the dumps.
