I was surprised to find myself in wailing lament when I woke up at 3pm and finally let myself look at the election returns.(I live alone.) It was the beginning of processing the results and looking to scripture to help me express my feelings and beginning to move toward resolution.

Another resource is "Sacred Sorrow" by Michael Card. It looks at how Biblical characters grieved and what we can learn from them. Election grief is going to be a constant companion as we endure these next four years.

Have you heard of Common Hymnal? Nowadays, mainstream worship music is sugar coated and dumbed down (I looked on CCLI SongSelect and Lament isn’t even listed as a theme). Common Hymnal writes music that actually says something and covers themes that mainstream Christian music won’t touch (justice, abuse, trauma). They have a very healthy library of songs of lament that have been a cathartic blessing for me in this season. Here’s a lament playlist I made (excuse the cute profanity in the playlist art): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/63xvubywA49qVYyd5GmvLJ?si=JFP2gYpmS7asLWigsmXTNA&pi=u-0VfTi6XpS4Wh CommonHymnal.com
