"God comforts the brokenhearted."
Grief brings suffering, discomfort, confusion, restlessness, pain, heartache, and usually plenty of tears. Some grief, like losing a loved one, can be understood only by those who have walked that dark valley before. Grief is like a deep pit. It tortures our soul and robs us of the joy of living. But there is a great theme in the Bible, that although we walk through the valley of the shadow, there can be comfort and hope, as long as God is with us.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
