I think it is a cultural experience. When you feel sad because of a loss of some kind you feel sorrow. How great the feeling is experienced is individual and cultural.
Individual because some people are more woundable than others due to their way of handling events in life. How do you handle the mental distress; How great is the need to feel loved, to get feedback, to succeed.
Cultural because what you are taught, is that reasons to feel sorrow will affect you. If you believe in reincarnation and the possibility that a person will have a better afterlife when dead, this will probably not make you feel the deep sorrow for the loss when this person die. Maybe, on the contrary, you feel joy and need to celebrate his passage to the next life.

Sorrow is an emotion and many situations can cause sorrow, like the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, seeing your home burned to the ground, divorce, bankruptcy, mass destruction from a hurricane like the one in New Orleans, etc.

Sorrow is caused by a person denying there full self to be recognized and uplifted. Once someone has disconnected from their complete self, pain and suffering fill the voids. If you do not accept yourself, you cannot love yourself, and you will open the door to sorrow.

If you Expect some thing out a situation and some thing else happens, you feel sorrow.
In short expectation cause sorrow. So don't expect any thing out of any situation and out of any person and be prepared for the worst, then you willn't be feel sorrow for any thing.
Ideally this cannot happen ofcourse.

When I stub my toe I cry like a little girl. Other than that I don't experience a lot of sorrow. I think I laugh too much. I should suffer more. That would be cool.

Happiness and sorrow are both 2 choices. They are 2 mental states. You choose whether to be happy or be sad.

Pain or fear usually is the cause of sorrow.

Sorrow, like all negatively associate feelings is rooted in fear. I hope that if you are currently experiencing sorrow that you realize, the real problem is fear. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of commitment, and a gob of other awful feelings.
Try to find the love in the situations. It is always there.
