Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.
