I believe the answer is:

relief

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'finds solace' is the definition.
'relief' can be an answer for 'solace' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'finds' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relief that I've seen before include "Cosmos" , "A lessening of pressure" , "replacement staff member" , "Alleviation or help" , "help for needy countries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
