Examples of bereft in a Sentence

1. Kim Rak Gyom:

   Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason who is going senile.

2. Salvador Panelo:

   The resolution is grotesquely one-sided, outrageously narrow, and maliciously partisan, it reeks of nauseating politics completely devoid of respect for the sovereignty of our country, even as it is bereft of the gruesome realities of the drug menace.

3. Mary Robinson:

   We need to make it clear that people are bereft of their own resources and we are seeing malnutrition and acute malnutrition among children, it's absolutely necessary to understand that this is the new normal.

4. Kathy Bates:

   I can’t believe Jimmy’s gone. Working with him on ‘Misery’ was one of the most profound experiences of my career, when you watch his performance, his terror, it’s as though he’s watching a snake. Brilliant. So many memories flooding back today. Jimmy saying, ‘Let’s get the most hyper guy in Hollywood and make him stay in bed for 15 weeks.’ We were so excited when we got to shoot in the dining room. He was kind. Hilarious. He would have something insightfully funny to say right now. I’m bereft. Sending all my love to the Caan family.

5. Kellyanne Conway:

   Whether it is student loan forgiveness or pardoning marijuana possession convictions, a bereft Biden tries hard to change the subject and get people who dislike him to dislike him a little bit less, this is less likely to motivate voters than it is to embarrass Vice President Kamala Harris. AsSan Francisco’s top prosecutor between 2004 and 2010, her office handled more than 1,900 marijuana convictions. Even if this makes sense legally or practically to Biden, he runs the risk as being seen again as ignoring the broader and deeper concerns surrounding violent crime surges and an inescapably devastating economic picture.
