In a time of great need, you hear "I'm here for you," and "Let me know if you ever need anything," among other phrases of the similar tone. These are kind and generous and willing people. Open-hearted, loving healers. What they might not realize is they most definitely are needed but we don't always know how to ask. And we most definitely don't have a clue what we need from them.
There's an issue here. We need them, but don't know how to let them know that. We know we need something, help maybe? But don't know what that would look like and they might not even be able to give it. And obviously, since we never told them they're needed, they don't realize it.
