Tell me what to do when someone is stressed out

[Eos]

I went downstairs after playing my flute for a few hours and talk to my dad. He first was talking out all stressed out. I placed my hand on his back trying to calm him down and I really can feel so much pain. Till the point where I just want to cry. In fact, I am crying! I really want to help him out. But I feel like there's nothing I can do. He really needs to find a new job and he is. Its just he hasn't found one yet and there's just so much pain. I can still feel some of it in my hands, and its just making me cry. T__T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooooooooo depressed D: T_T Sorry for even posting this I just really am so sad and I don't know what to do.

Help him find a new job. Tell him everything will be ok, comfort him.

He doesn't want me to help him find a job and I have been comforting him. I just really hope things get better for him really soon. T.T Its so sad what he has to go through.

The loss of a job and the hunt for a new one can be the most stressful time in a person's life (been there.. survived that). Just the fact that you acknowledge his pain and are sympathetic to it is more helpful than you know. Try to keep upbeat and hopeful and let him feel that. .

If you need some cash to help just make a sign and go and play your flute in a public place with a few friends, a charity jam session! Even if you aren't good people will toss some money in your cases or hat or whatever you set out. I'm sure he'll find a job, probably in an unexpected way at an unexpected time. It'll all work out in the end and keep playing that flute, it's good therapy. Best of luck.
