consoler
Shoulder to cry
A consoler is someone who provides comfort or solace to a person experiencing grief, disappointment, or distress.
The term emphasizes the active role of offering emotional support: She was the family's chief consoler after the funeral.
While anyone can console, a consoler suggests someone who takes on this role with particular care or frequency.
