As a butterfly develops inside the cocoon, it must struggle. The act of thrashing about makes it strong, so it will be able to soar high. If you feel sorry for it and break it loose from its cocoon before it has fought and broken free of its own, it will die. It will not have developed the strength within itself to survive and fly.
Remember this as you agonize over your friends and family who are going through a tough time. Sometimes the best thing you can do for them is to step back, hold the space and allow them their struggle.
Then when they are freed from that challenge they will emerge with the beauty of a butterfly ready to take off and fly!
