i think this is why most indigenous peoples venerated their dead, had gods that dealt with death, and had very complex ideas regarding afterlives, reincarnation, and the concept of a soul. almost all of them had(/have) very detailed protocol for how to mourn, how long, what colors and wardrobe to wear, cutting or shaving one’s head, and so on. Malidoma Patrice Some said that in his community, almost everyone was expected to wail during a funeral. they believed that the living have to cry enough tears to send their dead loved one to the next life. if too few tears are shed, then the person’s spirit either stays in this life or in a limbo state, creating mischief and disarray for the living. some African peoples today even hire people for funerals for the sole purpose of wailing and crying loudly. whatever the belief behind it is, i think this helps with the grieving process. but ultimately, i think ancestor veneration…the idea that the soul is never gone, that they come back - we come back - and can connect again and again; that we can still connect with our loved ones outside of conventional ideas of time and space and existence….provides the best foundation for proper grieving.
