...turmoil amongst my friends. I feel I should be doing something more than I am, but I don't know what that could be really. I always want to help the people I care about, it's their needs seem out of my range of abilities.

Guess everyone goes through that now and then. It seems like an unusual number of sources this time though.

Darling, we can only give ourselves in most causes. Sometimes all a friend needs is company, a comforting voice, a listening ear, or a hug. I know how hard it can be to watch friends suffer and feel helpless to do anything . . . worse when I cannot give those four things I already mentioned. It was hard for me when you were inaccessible in the past, how much I wanted to be there for you. I get these notions of buying friends houses, cars, or other gifts . . . or helping them in near-miraculous ways, but these are dreams. We must remember what resources we have at our disposal. It may not be enough to solve a friend's problem, but it is very likely to ease the harsh edge of their turmoil.
