*is trying to write*
Overwhelmment. That isn't a word, is it. Curses. Overwhelmation? I'm trying to say 'emotional overwhelmment' but I just can't come up with another word that will work. And I can't really rephrase the sentence either. This writing stuff sucks.
Especially because I can see the face that I want the character to make. I can make the face myself. But I'm having trouble putting it into words. And even more trouble putting it into words without using 'emotional overwhelmment'.
Edit: Overwhelmth? Maybe? No? *headdesk*
Edit again: The way I rearranged the sentence doesn't work quite as well, but I'll take it. Thanks, guys.
Edit yet again: "A look of disbelief, relief, and utter emotional exhaustion. . ." I'm thinking this might work.
*should really get to bed as mum is undoubtedly going to wake up early and insist on going to church*

I think "overwhelmed by emotion" would be your best bet...
