It is therapeutic. It allows endorphines to be released into your system that provide a calming and numbing effect. Once you are calm, the pain of the sorrow begins to ease.
This is why women who are going through tough times with a spouse, friend, kids, life will sometimes rent a good "cry" movie. Something about crying seems to just "get it all out" and then you can move on with life the next day.

Because crying is how some people best express their inner feelings when they are having sorrow. it is a relief in the same sense that if you have ever had a blood blister or even a boil, and when it is popped and all of the stuff finally runs out of it, you feel relief from the pressure the stuff inside was causing, yes? So if you can identify the crying as being like the stuff that needed to come out of the blister, or in this case sorrow would be the blister, you can see one way that it gives relief. i.e. crying came out of the sorrow and so sorrow was relieved.

The brain releases neurotransmitters during crying that calm the system. They actually feel good to the brain, unless you're a man who's been psychologically conditioned that crying means you are weak - then it only makes it worse. The crying stops and the sorrow gets pushed down deeper and deeper and who knows what it does all packed down there.
I have so many uncried tears that I can only relieve if I go the gym and lift weights. That's how we deal in guyworld.

Releasing the pain through crying helps relieve the sorrow and the pain of loss.
Laughter works, too: it can release tension caused by fear and anger. Releasing anger through a tantrum — either alone or with a friend or counselor — can also help. Whatever you’re feeling, express it. Don’t hold it in.

Crying can relieve you from sorrow. The pains in your heart will vanish once you release the stressful effect of your sadness. But it's more effective if you discuss it with somebody so as to totally release the pain.

i have heard it said that crying cleanses the soul...i believe that we have tear ducts for a reason...i think that when we are overly sad our brains tell our tear ducts to tun on the flow and clean out the soul...it washes it by releasing all the built up memories over something wonderful that we have lost...we will miss...sorrow is a deep, deep emotion and takes a lot of crying sessions to relieve...sorrow only comes from something that we have had, have lost and miss

Emotional crying relives stress caused by sorrow by releasing neuro transmitters like serotonin and endorphins that make a person physically feel better thus alleviating the sorrow. Hope you are feeling better.

They've tested the chemical make-up of tears. Tears shed in sorrow are different chemically than tears shed in anger, fear, or allergies. So the thoguth is that they actually help carry out bad chemicals thru the tears.

To cry is a very good and sane catharsis, is like letting your heavy sorrows and pains free.
