Mourning usually means to express deep sorrow to someone who has died.
It is usually common to mourn especially when a love one dies. People often tend to cry a lot that they can hardly breathe and also most of us wears black clothes when we mourn. It is normal for people like us to feel the mourn because when we mourn we actually express those thoughts and feelings and to mourn is to be an active participant in our grief journeys.
