Religion / a short autobiography
Arabic term or phrase: أوقات
وأوقات حزينة ومؤلمة

لنصلي كلنا ومن كل قلوبنا أن يعطي لذويهم الصبر والسلوان ... فحقا إنها فاجعة كبيرة ومروعة وأوقات حزينة ومؤلمة معا...

which would be the best word to use? the singular وقت or the plural أوقات in this context? or is there any other option here?

It's sad and painful time or these are sad and painful times?

I appreciate your comments and explanations.

Thank you.
