What words comfort you in time of sadness?

Last night I couldn't sleep. I stayed awake until 4:00 am, because I was in shock over seeing the counting of the electorate votes and watching Hillary's lead disappear. Then I felt so angry. This morning, I started crying listening to Hillary give her concessional speech. I was touched by her words of encouragement. 

I began to thing about quotes from the Bible: "Weeping my endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

So words do comfort people. Those are my words for you. Do you have any words for me?

    I am not comforted.  Sai Baba said that this decade will be the most difficult the world has yet to witness.  He said we will endure a lot of hardship and then, finally we shall have a long peace.  I hope I live long enough to see that part.

    If you are going the Tom Petty route, I think this one is more apropos at this black time.
