Now, as far as the cartoon goes, there WAS a practical solution, but it required some action on the 'helpers' part...he wasn't real willing to help...so he just said something nice and hugged....luckily the female WAS better off with that approach to his friendship.

The "helper" is her husband. They're both middle age and don't want children. SO, his hugging "There, there" is the help she and he needed at the moment.
I agree that not every problem has a solution. Sometimes all we can do is accept what is, and move on, even when "what is" is terrible beyond our worst expectations or belief.
