in the difficult time

Hello,

"The members rallied around their leader to support her in the difficult time."

I'd like to know which is in the difficult time, the group(the situation) or the leader?
I think SHE is in the difficult time.

Cheers,

  • It could be difficult only for her -- perhaps a death in the family -- or for them all -- a work related challenge.
