consoled

Offered emotional support

Consoled is the past tense of console, meaning to comfort someone in grief or disappointment.

The word implies offering emotional support during distress: She consoled him after the loss of his father.

To be consoled is to receive such comfort, though the phrase I'm not consoled suggests the effort failed to help.
