Consolatory
Emotional Support
Used to offer emotional support to someone who’s facing a tough time.

Her consolatory hug meant the world to me after I lost my job.
Not Physical Comfort
Focuses on comforting feelings or words, not physical things like blankets or food.

His consolatory words helped calm her nerves before the surgery.
Gentle and Mild
The tone is often gentle and mild, aiming not to overwhelm the person in distress.

I appreciated the consolatory note from my colleague when I felt overwhelmed.
