In times of sorrow, the Bible offers comfort and solace to those who are hurting. The Psalms, such as Psalms 34:18, remind us that God is near to the brokenhearted, and Psalms 147:3 notes that He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Jesus teaches in the Beatitudes, as recorded in Matthew 5:4, that those who mourn are blessed, for they will be comforted. The promise of Revelation 21:4 looks forward to a future where God will wipe away every tear, and even in the midst of pain, Psalms 73:26 affirms that God is our rock and our heart's desire.

‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle— are they not in Your book?
For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.
Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
