Sadness does not need to be fixed in one sitting. The verse comes first. A short prayer follows. If the sadness is heavy, tell someone you trust.
From the Qur’an
۞وَأَيُّوبَ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّـٰحِمِينَ
And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.
Qur'an 21:83
This can be a simple way to say that a hard season is allowed to hurt.
A short prayer
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Our Lord! Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire.
Qur’an 2:201
A curated prayer for this moment. It is not a ruling.
