Keening

The keening stench of decay emanated from the garbage dumpster, making it difficult to pass by.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
