isn’t it disgusting how american society only expects people to grieve for a few days until returning back to their everyday lives? that we should either overcome or repress our trauma of losing a loved one before the week is over with?
now im not saying that we should bring back the mourning periods of the victorian era BUT
Hospice workers and other related professionals ABSOLUTELY think we need to return to year long mourning periods! Structured time lines aren’t perfect (grief isn’t linear; it comes in slowly lulling waves) but a year is a hell of a lot better than a week. Moreover, it was a set of rules for the rest of society to abide by and that helped tremendously. Grief and shared grief make us panic; we aren’t certain what to do. Structured mourning periods help. Its pre-laid boundaries and guidance from the past.
So anyway bring back mourning periods.
Jewish tradition has a very structured mourning period, and it’s structure could be useful to others. I believe it could help as a guide for others, especially since it’s not only structured for the mourners, but for their community.
The first thing we do is sit Shiva. Shiva is very intense mourning for those closest to the deceased (usually relatives but I would argue if you are close enough to the person it will hit just as hard). It lasts 7 days, where those closest to the deceased do not leave the house, and do not cook or clean. Instead the community brings over food and takes care of the normal day chores, as well as sit with the mourners to support them physically and emotionally. (For more religious folks there are prayers throughout the day at the house). We wear specific clothes for this week as well. It is deep deep mourning.
After that week begins the Sheloshim (30) for thirty days (in reality it is 23 days as the 7 days of Shiva count towards the 30 total days). The mourners return to society in terms of taking care of themselves and going to work and such, but avoids socializing/parties/concerts/seeking entertainment, to focus on the loss. For religious folk, there is a prayer said every day (mourners kaddish) during this time. This can still be done with other friends and family to give emotional support even just by being present.
For those mourning a parent (though I think this step is crucial for losing anyone close), the 11 months of mourning begins. You no longer are sequestering yourself from society, but you still spend time each day remembering the person. (in jewish tradition this means you keep saying the mourners kaddish every day for 11 months).
Why I think this is so so so important is the community aspect. Especially during Shiva. I remember a twitter thread that was posted here a while back about someone who lost their father and how they wouldnt have made it through if their friends hadn’t come to support them as they were so deep in sorrow they couldn’t take care of themselves (friends brought food, cleaned the house, etc). It almost exactly described Shiva, minus a religious aspect. And they described slowing being able to re-join society afterwards, like the 30 days.
Grief shouldn’t be done alone, and mourners should be given support from their community to give them time and help them properly grieve and re-integrate with society.

Wow. I had no idea other countries didn’t surround their borders as we do.
There’s a border somewhere in Holland I forgot which other country but it like runs through the outside seating area of a cafe or something
Absolutely tear apart “I’m being forced to marry this woman” jokes. I hate them so fucking much. Do you know how much of a let down it is to see the person you love and share so much with turn around and rag on you to your friends as “the ol’ ball and chain”? Imagine trusting and respecting someone so much that you’re willing to commit your life to a union with them, and meanwhile they’re talking about how their life could only get worse if they were married to you. Destroy the idea that a man’s life is best when he’s a player, and that his life is “over” once he allows a woman into it. Destroy the idea that all women are controlling, horrible bridezillas. How disenchanting it is to see so many people shit all over the love between two people.
Respect your fucking wife. If you can’t do that, don’t get married.

SHE IS RIGHT AND SHE SOULD SAY IT!!!
YES!
I can relate
WENTWORTH PRISON | 1X15
“When Jamie reaches out his hand toward Claire, and after an instant’s hesitation, Randall shrugs and pushes her toward him. They just snap together like a clamshell closing, and there’s this moment when they’re both facing him together, Jamie suddenly fierce in spite of the pain and his knowledge that something terrible is about to happen; he has his wife with him. And she then stays with him, holding him tight through the nailing of his hand, holding his head to keep him from having to see it, trying so hard to take his pain.” Diana Gabaldon
I love DG’s take on this. Jamie’s outlook changes when Claire is behind him. He is brave and protective. It is actually one of my favorite moments in the series.
Great! now I’m crying…. I hadn’t noticed how his face changes until now :((((((

in the novel of pride and prejudice, there’s legit a scene where darcy is in the lone presence of lizzy at netherfield for around half an hour, and he just straight up ignores her, his nose stuck in a book all while he silently hopes his feelings for her go away and like honestly…mood
Honestly, I relate so much to William Darcy from Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I too have the social skills of agoraphobic lobster.
