I don't know that it lessens the depth of grief, but I think it is a healthy response to it. While grief is an internal emotional reaction to a situation, we, as humans, have the luxury of externalizing our emotions in a physical way. Not only does a good weep or sob session drain us, but it also releases endorphins that can be very therapeutic. You simply feel better afterward.
The same can be said for laughter. Not a chuckle or a giggle, but a real good belly laugh.
Humans are the only species that can do either. And we do.
Why? Because both help us emotionally and physically.
Isn't it grand to be a human?

No. One would feel emotionally drained after displaying such strong emotion as weeping loudly because of the discharge of energy.
Only time will lessen the debt of the grief.

I would have to say yes on that one. I'm sorry, but when your at a funeral and some woman is wailing like crazy, it makes me want to giggle so freaking much! It has to do with the tone and sound, not because of their grief! Tears well up in my eyes trying to hold back my laughter!lol I'm so going to hell for that!

of course, that is why you must wail loudly....particularly after midnight when you know your neighbor has to get up at 4:30 Am to go to work.

I don't think so, but sometimes you can't help it. I have cried so loud and hard at times that I thought I might actually die, which, at the time, might have been a relief.
