Sorrow (emotion)
open-in-new
<p>Sorrow is an <a href="/facts/Emotion/kvAr22wa">emotion</a>, feeling, or sentiment. Sorrow is more 'intense' than <a href="/facts/Sadness/uKhIDMYf">sadness</a>, implies a long-term state and suggests — unlike unhappiness — a degree of resignation. </p><p>Moreover, in terms of attitude, sorrow can be considered halfway between <i><a href="/facts/Sadness/uKhIDMYf">sadness</a></i> (accepting) and <i><a href="/facts/Mental_distress/asVAzoeI">distress</a></i> (not accepting)". </p>
