Sorrow (emotion)

Sorrow, drawing by Vincent van Gogh, 1882

Sorrow is an emotion, feeling, or sentiment. Sorrow is more 'intense' than sadness, implies a long-term state[1] and suggests — unlike unhappiness — a degree of resignation.[2]

Moreover, in terms of attitude, sorrow can be considered halfway between sadness (accepting) and distress (not accepting)".[2]
