🪨 Weeping beside Jeremiah 31:15
When weeping is loud, Jeremiah 31:15 is a sentence you can borrow. “Yahweh says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Jeremiah 31:15 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
