Solace is the comfort you feel during a sad or difficult time — something that makes the pain a little easier to bear. It's a slightly formal, literary word; you're more likely to read it in a book than hear it in casual conversation. People "find solace in" something — music, a friend, nature, memories — meaning that thing brings them comfort.
