After Vietnam I was doing some serious grieving and dealing with (what I learned later was) PTSD when I received a card from a very close, very dear friend which quoted Henry David Thoreau, "The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend." Those words have said it better than anything else when I've had to try to help others through their own moments of grief. To me it still says it all.
