It's about far more than mere "consolation"..it's about seeking the greatest good of all souls.

We should never shoot low.  We should do what Jesus did...He didn't just heal a body, He always referenced some other point to help them and the people who helped them spiritually...."were not ten healed..and only 1 gives thanks..".  That's the "extra" that Jesus was always working on, and it's what we should seek to work on too, going far beyond weeping with them, or patting them on the back. 

Love is far far more.

We should dare to do far more, with God at our side as teacher and coach.
