What is noted as being the most potent reliever of the pains of grief?

Empathy
Medication
Exercise

Correct Answer

A. Empathy

Explanation

Empathy is noted as being the most potent reliever of the pains of grief. When someone is grieving, having someone who can understand and share their feelings can provide immense comfort and support. Empathy allows individuals to feel heard, validated, and understood, which can help alleviate the emotional pain associated with grief. Medication may provide temporary relief, but it does not address the underlying emotional needs. Exercise can be beneficial for overall well-being but may not specifically target the pains of grief.
