African grief traditions

Many African grief traditions honor the dead as continuing presences in community life rather than permanent absences, often through ritual, gathering, and the integration of ancestors into ongoing family relationships. These practices recognize grief as a collective process that strengthens social bonds rather than a private journey toward 'moving on.'
