Sirach 38:19 CPDV

¹⁷  And though you will sink down into bitterness, bear his mourning for one day, and then be consoled in your sadness.

¹⁸  And carry out his mourning, according to his merit, for one or two days because of this loss.

¹⁹  Yet sadness hastens death and overwhelms strength, and the sorrow of the heart bows down the neck.

²⁰  When one is taken away, sorrow remains. But the resources of a destitute man is found in his heart.

²¹  You should not give your heart over to sadness, but push it away from you. And remember the very end.
