Why this word is great
MOURN — [Verb] To express sadness or sorrow, especially over a death or loss. From Middle English mornen, mournen, from Old English murnan ("to mourn, be anxious"), from Proto-Germanic *murnaną ("to worry, care for, mourn"). Unlike "lament" (which implies a vocal or demonstrative expression of grief, often with poetic or formal overtones) or "bemoan" (which suggests a more prolonged or excessive sorrow, tinged with complaint), to mourn is to carry the weight of absence quietly, like a stone in the pocket. It is the slow folding of a loved one’s clothes into a box, the way rain darkens a gravestone without ceremony, or the hollow sound of a house when the clock ticks too loudly in an empty room—an acknowledgment that some losses are not healed by words, only endured.
