When tragedy strikes, people often feel helpless. They cannot undo events. They cannot relieve immediate pain. What they can offer is solidarity.
āSending prayersā is not a cure. It is not a solution. It is a gesture of empathy.
For some, it reflects religious faith ā a belief that divine comfort can surround grieving families. For others, it is symbolic ā a way of saying:
-
We see your pain.
-
We care.
-
You are not alone.
In moments of grief, even brief expressions of support can matter. They remind families that their loved ones impacted lives beyond their immediate circle.
