Sit ___ (mourn) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shiva

(Other definitions for shiva that I've seen before include "Major Hindu deity (the destroyer)" , "powerful deity" , "Destroyer goddess of Hinduism" , "Major Hindu god with third eye in middle of forehead" , "Jewish period of mourning" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
