Answer:SADNESS

Explanation: Stress from grief can flood the body with hormones, specifically cortisol, which causes that heavy-achy-feeling you get in your chest area.

The problem comes when we try to swallow - the action of swallowing usually involves closing the glottis, which is wide open at this point, both due to the stress response and how the body cries.

Emotional tears contain more stress hormones and natural painkillers than other types of tears. They serve a therapeutic role, also known as “a good cry.
