Tired people often need compassion before strategy.

Somebody running on empty cannot use advice. Plans, solutions, and suggestions require capacity that is simply not present, and offering them lands as pressure rather than help. What is usable at that point is warmth, food, quiet, and somebody staying nearby without needing anything.

With someone who is worn out, ask what would help rather than what they should do. And when it is you, take the same order. Comfort first, and the strategy tomorrow.
