The body has an automatic response to intense pain. What it does is it releases this hormone thingy (i forgot the exact name) and kinda numbs everything and if the pain is a lot more worst, the body shuts down more like you lose consciousness. I learned this from my anatomy class during my university days. Im thinking its the same with emotional pain thats why some people lose cosciousness when grieving for a loved one that died. It is more healthy for a person to cry and let all the sadness come out than keeping everything inside now knowing when it will build up and finally explode to whatever or whoever is present at that time.
