Community Mourning refers to the collective process of grieving and expressing sorrow within a group, often after experiencing a shared loss, such as the death of a member, a tragedy affecting the community, or significant adverse events. This phenomenon recognizes that grief is not only an individual experience but also a communal one, where the emotional impact resonates across relationships and social bonds. In community mourning, members come together to support each other, share their feelings, and honor the memory of the deceased or the significance of the loss. This process often involves memorial services, gatherings, and communal rituals that facilitate healing and solidarity.
