Scenario

When Islamic mourning beliefs about the afterlife affect grief expectations

I have been having dreams about my deceased sister every night since her funeral six weeks ago, and people keep telling me the dreams will stop after her forty-day ceremony ends.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
