Have you ever HAD a good cry - one where you just sobbed and sobbed until you could barely breathe? Didn't it feel as if everything in your chest was just coming up out of your throat? That's what "crying your heart out" means - crying so hard that it seems your body is turning inside out, crying until every last drop of emotion is wrung out of you.
