Keening

The keening cries of the bereaved could be heard at the gravesite.

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The mourners' keening filled the air as they bid farewell to their beloved friend.

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 shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.
