Days of Mourning

Days of Mourning are designated periods when communities or nations pause to honor and remember individuals who have passed away, often due to tragedy, conflict, or significant loss. During these days, people typically refrain from regular activities, wear subdued attire, and may hold memorial events or reflections. The purpose is to show respect, acknowledge collective grief, and promote unity in mourning. Such observances vary in length and customs depending on cultural or national context, serving as a collective expression of grief and a moment for reflection and healing.
