In heraldry, the weeping willow tree is symbolic of pliancy; serenity and friendship; patience and perseverance because even in the strongest winds its flexible branches bend but don’t easily break.
The weeping willow often represents weeping, grief, sorrow and mourning. Its drooping branches convey a picture of the grief felt for the loss of one departed and is often represented on mourning jewelry and carved on cemetery headstones but as a headstone symbol, the weeping willow can also mean happiness and immortality and eternity.
It is also said that the weeping willow represents balance, learning, growth, harmony, and also strength, stability, with the structure of the trunk standing firm, withstanding the greatest of challenges.
