Don't mind at all!  What about developing a cynical or sarcastic
attiude to the matter in question?  Another way could be getting
very involved in something so that you don't have to think about
whatever it is that ails that person.  Something I have seen very
often is going into religion to an almost ridiculous extent.

There's another very common way of coping:  hitting the bottle.
Others are seeking help as in support groups or psychologists.  If
I think of anymore I'll let you know.
