grievance .
Usage : {
Grief }, {
Sorrow }, {
Sadness }.
Sorrow is the generic term ;
grief is sorrow for some definite cause --
one which commenced ,
at least ,
in the past ;
sadness is applied to a permanent mood of the mind .
Sorrow is transient in many cases ;
but the grief of a mother for the loss of a favorite child too often turns into habitual sadness . "
Grief is sometimes considered as synonymous with sorrow ;
and in this case we speak of the transports of grief .
At other times it expresses more silent ,
deep ,
and painful affections ,
such as are inspired by domestic calamities ,
particularly by the loss of friends and relatives ,
or by the distress ,
either of body or mind ,
experienced by those whom we love and value ." --
Cogan .
See {
Affliction }.
