    I was in the waiting room for my friend when the surgeon came in and told us he had a week to live. The sound his family began to make was haunting and terrifying. It was a deep groaning and crying that I haven’t heard since. It made my hairs stand up on end and it made me quake. There is nothing heavier than death.

      Condolences for your friend.

      That’s how I cry, when I do cry. I can’t help it. I hardly ever cry though I’d like to be able more because it’s such a strong catharsis, but when I do it’s like a very deep voiced whale trying to make air bubbles over and over. “Awhuuoooo oo oo oo aahhuuuooooo”

      It usually only happens when there’s a severe loss, my body takes control from my brain, accepts defeat, and starts wailing.

      Coincidentally I had a cry a few days ago watching this: https://youtube.com/shorts/ixouwqK4_Ls - so many emotions piled into one scene, it’s overwhelming.
