What a wonderful article. I work as a volunteer for women seeking help of any kind. 'Listening' is a big part of this work. Some problems are just so vast that it is impossible to find the words to help. The one thing I am learning though, is that 'listening' is help in itself. When solutions seem far away or impossible, the fact that the person is also listening to themselves and hearing their own story, a solution is suddenly closer.
