Glory
Well, it's difficult to describe exactly what a grief counselor does that's glorious. That'd be like trying to fit a square object into a round hole—and the hole is filled with sadness. But there is a deep reward that comes with helping a person overcome their (occasionally paralyzing) emotional pain from loss.
Imagine helping a child through the loss of a parent, helping them to find their smile again. You could help a soldier coming back from war to regain a sense of who they are in a country not ravaged by explosions and firefights. You could give a family the chance to bounce back from the complete and utter destruction of their home. There's no glory in the grief of others. However, once the grief is gone, it's okay to be proud.
You'll also get thank you cards and flowers from time to time. It's okay if you want to pop a tear or two yourself—you earned it.
