When you are used to helping, speaking about your own difficulty can feel awkward. See who is available to work with you, break the task into smaller parts and make a specific request. Receiving help is one way of working together.

A question to take with you

In Berakhot 5b:10–13, Rabbi Yohanan visits and helps a sick student, then receives Rabbi Hanina's help when he himself is ill. A comparison follows about needing another person's help to get free of a difficult situation. This fictional cleanup story draws on that mutual support. Jin, Ara, the tasks and all dialogue are invented. The source's visits to the sick and recovery are not presented as modern treatments; holding a hand or accepting help is not said to cure disease.
