Grief is A Universal Experience

Leming and Dickinson (2016) highlight that humans are driven by emotions and reasoning. We are deeply affected by the passing of those close to us and seek comfort and understanding in the face of loss. They also emphasize the importance of an anthropological approach, which examines the cultural rituals and practices surrounding death and how different societies express their values through their approaches to death and life celebrations.

In essence, grief is a universal yet deeply personal experience, influenced by individual emotions and cultural contexts.
