Mourning Practices

Mourning practices are rituals and customs that people observe after the death of a loved one. These practices vary widely across cultures and can include wearing specific clothing, holding funerals, creating memorials, or observing periods of silence. Mourning allows individuals and communities to express grief, honor the deceased, and begin healing. These rituals help in navigating the emotional pain of loss, providing both support and a sense of closure. Participants often find comfort in shared experiences and traditions that connect them with their heritage and each other during a difficult time.
