Nothing prepares you to comfort a parent that lost their child. I have gone to rabbinical school, taken classes on pastoral counseling, and majored in psychology in college. None of that can begin to prepare me for Shiva homes and phone calls in which parents are grieving the loss of their own child. Sometimes, there is not much comfort to offer. No one, no words, and nothing can compensate for so heartbreaking of a loss. On Shabbat Nachamu, we echo God’s message of comfort to our people, a people who have suffered too much to be comforted.
