Social Sciences - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / United States | | English term or phrase: be there for someone | In my quest to compile a thorough glossary of idioms with their translations into Spanish, I am basing, although not limiting, the meanings to those given by the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, or other lexicographic sources. Those idiomatic translations used in multiple countries are given preference over those with more limited usage. Please give the equivalent idioms to the following meaning, and specify countries of use, of "be there for someone" as defined by the Oxford Dictionary of Idioms as follows:
"be available to support or comfort someone who is experiencing difficulties or adversities." An example could be: "His friends were there for him as his wife slowly slipped away in the hospital."
Thank you,
