hardship .
Usage : {
Affliction }, {
Sorrow }, {
Grief }, {
Distress }.
Affliction and sorrow are terms of wide and general application ;
grief and distress have reference to particular cases .
Affliction is the stronger term .
The suffering lies deeper in the soul ,
and usually arises from some powerful cause ,
such as the loss of what is most dear --
friends ,
health ,
etc .
We do not speak of mere sickness or pain as "
an affliction ,"
though one who suffers from either is said to be afflicted ;
but deprivations of every kind ,
such as deafness ,
blindness ,
loss of limbs ,
etc .,
are called afflictions ,
showing that term applies particularly to prolonged sources of suffering .
Sorrow and grief are much alike in meaning ,
but grief is the stronger term of the two ,
usually denoting poignant mental suffering for some definite cause ,
as ,
grief for the death of a dear friend ;
sorrow is more reflective ,
and is tinged with regret ,
as ,
the misconduct of a child is looked upon with sorrow .
Grief is often violent and demonstrative ;
sorrow deep and brooding .
Distress implies extreme suffering ,
either bodily or mental .
In its higher stages ,
it denotes pain of a restless ,
agitating kind ,
and almost always supposes some struggle of mind or body .
Affliction is allayed ,
grief subsides ,
sorrow is soothed ,
distress is mitigated .

1913 Webster ]
