weeper
One who sobs
A weeper is someone who weeps—cries or sheds tears.
The word often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting excessive or theatrical emotion: He's not a weeper, but that film got to him.
Historically, weepers were hired mourners at funerals, or the black bands of crepe worn during periods of mourning.
