Notice that some cultures will not identify with some of these, whilst others will. Some will make no sense and others will be familiar. . . Every culture deals with grief in its own way. We have some similarities and are starkly different in others. . . For example, in the aboriginal culture, wailing is a norm, and heavy drinking is also noticed. . . In some cultures people may leave their community in order to recoup due to the grief and loss. . . Whilst some of these behaviours can seem unhelpful, they are cultural norms deeply rooted and somewhat expected. . . It's important for grief and bereavement counsellors to be mindful of cultural differences in order to provide a non judgemental and informed approach to counselling 💖 . . And it's important for us to be aware in our daily lives that everyone grieves differently and behaviour that appears different to us may be culturally informed 💖 . . #grief #bereavement #lifeafterloss #culture #beliefs #values #griefawareness #grieflosstrauma #gonebutnotforgotten #griefpractice #griefawareness #griefjourney #griefrevolution #griefandloss (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB51tVoHI_m/?igshid=12k75lrqd5diw
