The story is told . . .
of a heartbroken Jewish family sitting shiva for a recently deceased loved one. Friends and family were there, trying to to finds words of comfort to say to them. One elderly man, who didn't even know the family all that well, came in, and without a word, hugged the widow and just cried his eyes out.
Sometimes there are just no words.
