Vine's
contrasts it with comforting someone (which is retrospective in
nature, having to do with a trial experienced), yet it is used
in 2 Cor 1 of the comfort God gives us in our tribulations that
we in turn can give to others. Perhaps this kind of comfort
then, is helping others be forward looking, rather than dwelling
on the past.
