When someone we love is grieving, it can be difficult to know what to do or say. Fortunately, we can turn to the Word for guidance.

The first thing Job’s friends do is show up at his house and sit with Job silently for an entire week. Their silent show of support helps. However, when Job’s friends begin to give Job advice and to postulate reasons for his suffering, their many words bring Job more pain.
