Question

A death leaves family members in grief. Mourning and funeral practices help family members cope with grief. I would like you to reflect on and discuss the death and mourning rituals that are associated with your cultural background. Discuss what the textbook says in this regard. Besides this, I would like you to select a culture from another part of the world and describe briefly how this culture engages in funerary and mourning (use the Internet to find videos or written descriptions). The study of death and dying can help people understand these issues and make better choices. Is it true that knowledge about death and dying allows us to plan for our future with less fear and denial? Is it a step forward toward Death Competency? Do relate your discussion post to the course content. Discuss.
