Sorrow (emotion)

Sorrow, drawing by Vincent van Gogh, 1882

Sorrow is an emotion of sadness. Sorrow can be worse than sadness because it can last longer.[1] At the same time sorrow has someone admit that they have lost something.[2] It is a normal reaction to something that makes a person mad or when they went through something tragic.[3]
