Examples of cry for in a Sentence

1. Milla Jovovich:

   [Ever] was never a ‘good’ sleeper, so every two or three hours I was waking up to feed her and calm her. I never wanted to let her signals go unanswered and letting her cry it out was not the way I wanted to raise my child, not that I judge other methods of mothering, I just knew that it wouldn’t make me happy to allow her to be separated from us at night and cry for hours on end. And I always say, whatever you need to do to be a happy mother is the best for baby.

2. Eugene Taylor Sutton:

We can only listen to everything you have expressed, and we pray for you. We pray for your peace, your peace with the sentence. We pray for your ability to sleep at night, and your ability to find a single moment of happiness when that happiness seems completely elusive.

   It puts me in a position of somebody who is being proactive about their life. One who is acting in defense of Jim Ambrose and others, to couch it that way informs the listener -- often a potential sexual partner -- that I care what you think, but I know enough about Jim Ambrose to know that if you want to perceive me as a victim, cry for me, be disgusted by me or get up and leave, you can do all of those things.
