After listening to the experience of Rasulullah \ufdfa, he comforted him by informing him that Jibreel AS was the same angel who would bring revelation to Nabi Musa AS as well.

He would not hear anything distasteful (such as; people rejecting him, belying him etc.) which would sadden him except that Allah would remove that sadness from him by means of Khadijah \ufdfa, when he would return to her. She would strengthen him, lighten (his matters), believe in him, and help him to overcome the inconvenience that people caused to him. May Allah have mercy upon her [Al Sirah al Nabawiyyah.
