🍞 Mourning beside Genesis 50:10
When mourning is loud, Genesis 50:10 is a sentence you can borrow. “They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Genesis 50:10 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
