Sadness & Loss
🌿 Mourning beside Isaiah 66:10
When mourning is loud, Isaiah 66:10 is a sentence you can borrow. ““Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Isaiah 66:10 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
