To mourn, to lament, to grieve. Pentheo. Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. Grief is the doorway to comfort. Those who allow themselves to mourn will find God meets them there.

To weep, to wail. Klaio. Jesus wept. The shortest verse in the Bible is also one of the most profound. God weeps with those who weep. He is not unmoved by human grief.
