Body feels like crying

After stressful events that I'm unaccustomed to, or after strenuous workout, my body feels as if it wants to cry. I am unable to produce the tears to "cry it out", but my body feels it. This started happening when I had a miscarriage (at the time, I didn't know I had miscarriage, but Doctor estimates it was at that time). Right now, I do meditative drawing to ease the symptoms. People think I am an artist (I'm in IT) because the drawings are so intense and beautiful. Also, I do deep-breathing meditation, 15 minutes, 2 times a day. I lay on my bed on my back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. I place one hand on my stomach, one hand on my chest, and I concentrate on breathing through my diaphragm. As I inhale, diaphragm expands, exhale, diaphragm contracts. Anything else I can do? What does Buddhism recommend about art? Or anything to ease this suffering?
