eternal sorrow

Perpetual deep grief

Eternal sorrow is grief or sadness that seems endless or permanent.

The phrase appears in literary and religious contexts to describe suffering without relief: condemned to eternal sorrow.

It suggests mourning so deep it becomes a defining state rather than a passing emotion.
