שְׁכוֹל
War and bereavement have been, unfortunately, a part of life since the dawn of humanity. It is no wonder, then, that Biblical Hebrew has a salient word for bereavement - שְׁכוֹל (sheh-KHOHL).
A related word is שַׁכּוּל - bereaved (shah-KOOL). For example, בְּיוֹם הַזִּכָּרוֹן הָעָם עוֹמֵד בְּסוֹלִידָרִיּוּת עִם הַמִּשְׁפָּחוֹת הַשַּׁכּוּלוֹת - On Memorial Day, the nation stands in solidarity with the bereaved families (beh-YOHM hah-zee-kah-ROHN hah-AHM oh-MED beh-soh-lee-DAH-ree-yoot eem hah-meesh-pah-KHOHT hah-shah-koo-LOHT).
