Wailers

Wailers are individuals, a group, or a collection of entities (living or otherwise) who express grief, sorrow, or lamentation through audible sounds or gestures. This often involves prolonged cries, moans, or shouts indicative of intense sadness, distress, or pain. The act of wailing can be a communal activity, such as during funeral rituals, or a private expression of profound emotional turmoil. The context usually suggests a sense of loss, suffering, or helplessness that elicits the wails.
