7. he also claims he 'feels their pain'- and he is

the one to 'comfort' the families-

Comfort is more than lip service- Comfort involves being moved, being uncomfortable, feeling pain, BEING there- listening- being ENGAGED, taking time, and opening your heart to share the burden.

it is not crockidile tears, a quick hug, and pat on the back- you cannot comfort someone you aren't willing to be vunerable with.

Comforting the grieving is one of the most difficult, and essential things we humans can do for one another-

mr.bush fails miserably here.- more than miserably-
