Sympathy

Sometimes the most effective words of comfort are no words at all.

Tragedy in a Friend's life can leave you speechless--not because you are shocked, but because you don't know what to say. You might be very concerned and sympathetic, but you avoid talking with your Friend because you can't think of an appropriate thing to say. So you say nothing.

We are all in that position from time to time, do don't feel too bad about it. But don't let your momentary muteness prevent you from being a comfort to your friends. It is possible to offer sympathy without saying anything? Sure, In fact, your friend may not feel like engaging in extend a hug or spend a while sitting in silence with your friend.

A lot can be said between friends when you don't say anything.

"comfort , comfort people,"says your God.

ISAIAH 40:1
