		A lot of times when someone is in a lot of pain, it is caused from a lack of self-respect as well as self-identity. The tragic part is that you cannot give anyone self-respect, they have to find that themselves, and a lot of times this means letting the one you love hit rock bottom so that they will be compelled to change, all the while encouraging any step in a positive direction. At least thats how I see it.

		You pray for your friend and remind them that God love them no matter what they did. If your friend is struggling with guilt then guide them into a greater fellowship of Christian believers. Together you and your friend will be able to see the light down the tunnel and you and your friend will make it through the hard times.

		You supply some of their needs. You treat them kindly. You don't treat them like they're some sort of project! If you even think of them as a project, however you may treat them, eventually you will only hurt them -- quite possibly, worse than they were already hurt. You spend time with them, allowing them to vent, and not judging them, not offering too much advice, and being patient when they're unable or unwilling to take your advice. You forgive them when they screw up. You give them a scalp massage. Or a foot massage. You take them out for coffee, or out for dinner. You do stuff with them that demonstrates you like them and that they have value to you.
