🌿 Weeping beside 2 Samuel 15:30
When weeping is loud, 2 Samuel 15:30 is a sentence you can borrow. “David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.” 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. 2 Samuel 15:30 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
