For example:
* "The woeful news of the accident shocked everyone."
* "She looked upon the woeful scene with tears in her eyes."
If you're looking for a related adjective with a slightly different meaning, you could use:
* Woful (meaning full of woe or sorrow)
* Woebegone (meaning showing sorrow or misery)
* Wretched (meaning miserable or unhappy)
* Mournful (meaning expressing sadness or sorrow)
Ultimately, the best adjective to use will depend on the specific context and the emotion you want to convey.
