A friend called me today, very distraught. No names or details. But I have never before been speaking to someone on the phone and been so certain that it was the last time I would be speaking with them, ever. I was afraid to hang-up the phone because I thought they would do something terrible and drastic. I think I talked them down somewhat after about an hour of assurances, but I'm still very uneasy about the situation. I spoke with them twice more after that initial call to make sure the situation hadn't degraded. But I'm quite worried about the immediate future. My fingers are crossed that they'll have the inner strength to hang on.
UPDATE
They're okay! I finally heard back. So far, all is okay. My fingers are still crossed, but I think the worst is over.
