Although we get this feeling in varying ways, it tends to affect us all the same. To be sad, or the feeling of “sadness” is the expression of being unhappy or having grief, as Merriam-Webster states. I feel as though sadness really is the emotional state in which one feels lost, broken, depressed, or excessively emotional. Through various sources and studies, it can be proven that the human body acts the same way in all cases of sadness. I remember the day my grandfather passed.
