Sadness & Loss
📖 Mourning beside 1 Samuel 15:35
When mourning is loud, 1 Samuel 15:35 is a sentence you can borrow. “Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and Yahweh grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. 1 Samuel 15:35 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
