american-englishdialogueonomatopoeiasingle-word-requestswriting

How do you show someone is crying in dialogue? (as in, is there an onomatopoeia that can show crying well? I ask because "(insert dialogue)..sniffle..(insert dialogue)..snifle..", does show that the effects of crying are playing a role in the dialogue but is there a better, or cooler onomatopoeia that could be used?) Also, is there a single word or phrase to say that someone is slowly stopping crying?

Best Answer

You can use:

Sob
Weep convulsively

As in slowly stopped crying, so far I have never read about its onomatopoeia.
