Decision with Friend.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
My question is when is it time to draw a line with a beloved friend who is caught in depression, fear and/or perhaps addiction?
I am feeling so much compassion for them and they do admit to suicidal thoughts or at least a strong desire to just die…
I have suggested therapy and possibly rehab, but it is as though their desire is closed to any options that I suggest and only wants what it thinks it needs…more and more money and things to keep functioning as they believe will make them happy…
Response:
If your friend is not open to therapy or rehab, or any of your suggestions, then you may already have your answer. You can’t help someone that doesn’t want your help. Perhaps the only line you need to draw is to no longer invest yourself in a particular outcome for your friend according to your expectations.
You have made your support to them apparent, so you just need to trust that if the time is right for your friend to reach out to you then it will happen, and if he or she doesn’t, then the time is not right.

Wait for the opportune moment, oh my heart.
Everything happens in its own time.
The gardener may flood the orchard with water,
But the trees do not bear fruit out of season.
