Is godly sorrow Jesus's sorrow?
So is that my godly sorrow or Jesus's godly sorrow that leads me to repentance?
I think it is the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for SHARING your THOUGHTS
many people find a pathway to TRUTH in what a person can DEMONSTRATE rather than merely what they THINK and have a conviction of or assert Jack can have the Conviction his wife is having Sex with someone else but jack can be WRONG having the thought or belief does not CAUSE the allegation or proposition to be TRUE
SORROW is a Human emotion a FEELING" of sadness or GRIEF caused by LOSS of someone or some thing
REPENTANCE is the process of feeling REGRET for MISDEEDS or moral shortcomings and the ACTION to SHOW ( to others ) a CHANGE for better behavior .. so any human behaviors a person engaged in effected OTHER people in the society ( reality ) so t o ENGAGE the PERSON in society they have harmed
in certain RELIGIONS ( organized promotion of supernatural proposition ie spirits gods "other worlds " places of asserted torment or paradise) use the word repentance as an ACTION of turning away from SELF serving activities and turning to " God to walk in his ways .... though it fails to demonstrate the Gods ways and it one reads many religions text the god calls for child sacrifice animal sacrifice kill certain PEOPLE accept for the virgins or a man picking up stick on a certain day of the week ... authoritarianism ... cause some person in ancient time made a assertion he was speaking for the god which he could not demonstrate . submit to without question
FACT to date NO THEIST or promoter of supernatural PROPOSITION have demonstrated a god or spirit ... making GODLY SORROW a new word salad
thank you for the question and ability to present FACTS / reality

Sorrow is not a godly emotion. When we obey.
Grief is a result of our environment.
The Bible does say we are loyal to God and only God. And we must be prepared to turn on our brother's and sister's, If they don't chose to live in God's way.

2 Corinthians 7:9-11
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. [10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. [11] For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
