'The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.'
God gravitates toward grief. He doesn't avoid the funeral. He's already there.
'Near' is a location word. He's not theoretically present. He's close — close enough to hear breathing, close enough to wipe a tear.
If you feel broken, you are not far from God. You are exactly where he is most likely to be found.
