Loss and pain
Comfort
The relief that comes when someone or something calms our pain.
What the Bible can tell you
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
2 Corinthians 1:3
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
Psalms 147:3
As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem."
Isaiah 66:13
A human reading
Comfort does not always come with perfect words. Sometimes it is a presence, a hug, or simply not being alone in the pain. You can also offer it to others once you have received your own.
