What does it mean to be comforted after mourning for sin?

Answered in 1 source

Being comforted after mourning signifies the assurance of God's forgiveness and the restoration of joy through Christ.

The promise of comfort for those who mourn highlights the gracious response of God to our sorrow. When we genuinely mourn for our sin, we are met with God's tender mercies, which remind us of His forgiveness. This comfort is not superficial or conditional; rather, it is rooted in the completed work of Christ. As seen in Psalm 51, the believer’s acknowledgment of sin leads to the restoration of a right spirit and joy of salvation. This transformation turns mourning into rejoicing, as the believer finds assurance that their iniquities are pardoned through the blood of Christ, fulfilling the promise that they shall indeed be comforted.
