Be cold comfort

Meaning:

  • This is something someone tells you to make you feel better about a bad situation, but it does not make you feel better.


Example sentence:

Telling her that she can have many more children after she'd lost her baby was cold comfort to her.



Questions for you to answer:

  1. Do you remember a situation when somebody offered you cold comfort?
  2. Do you think cold comfort is better than no comfort?
  3. Can you imagine a situation when cold comfort is vital?
