🍞 Weeping beside Jeremiah 22:10
When weeping is loud, Jeremiah 22:10 is a sentence you can borrow. “Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.” 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. Jeremiah 22:10 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
