Sadness, grief (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorrow

I believe this is a double definition.

'sadness' is the first definition.
(I know that sorrow is a type of sadness)

'grief' is the second definition.
(I know that grief can be written as sorrow)

(Other definitions for sorrow that I've seen before include "Sadness; one magpie for it" , "Deep distress" , "Woe" , "'One magpie for ..., two for joy (6)'" , "Expression of grief" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
