Excellent! The 1st step is the most important and like you rightly stated - "Be there. Listen. Acknowledge what the person is feeling without getting judgy."
WOW! It made a LOT of sense. Alas, in our over-polarized world (where each one of us thinks that she has a monopoly on deciding what is right and what is wrong for not just herself but also others around her) there seems to be an acute shortage of empathy. Thank you for writing this essay.
We tell ourselves stories in order to live. 💖

Well written as usual. I identify with listening and not become invested in your solutions for them. Sound advice!:)
