In many Ethiopian funeral traditions, mourning is expressed very emotionally through crying, chanting, and chest-beating, mainly by women, especially elders. The chest-beating and loud lamentations are not meant literally but symbolize deep sorrow, shock, and love for the deceased, with expressions that may sound like “take me instead” or strong cries of questioning and grief. These mourning songs and actions help people openly share their pain, honour the dead, and show solidarity with the grieving family, making it an important cultural practice in many parts of Ethiopia.

I am not successful yet to see this and my fear is unexplained what if before I get the chance to be successful or make my families life better this might happen to one of them and what if all the struggles the hope suddenly fall apart .I used to think like how can people show their grief without being ashamed and when the time comes there is no such a thing as shame or calculation anything may GOD give everyone a healing ❤️🩹 from all the pain that have been experienced by losing the loved ones 🙏
