African grief traditions — communal mourning

African grief traditions, diverse across the continent's hundreds of cultures, tend to share a consistent feature: that grief is not a private experience to be managed individually but a communal event to be shared collectively. The community gathers, mourns together, provides material support, and holds the memory of the deceased through ongoing communal practices. This domain examines several specific traditions within this broader orientation and what the communal model offers that more individualistic cultures have largely lost.
