Mourning in Islam is missing in this website...The tragedy of Kerbala, which is commemorated to this date on every 1st month of the Islamic lunar Calender.It was a tragedy when the grand son of the Holy Prophet sacrificed all he had for saving Islam.This is why Islamic New year begins with mourning for forty days remebering the tragedy of Kerbala and learning lessons for defending the truth,and being steadfast in your duties. I believe this very important information is missing on this website
I have added the Category:Other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention since there is no article on Bereavement or the more severe forms of mourning. Most morning is normal and not a clinic condition. --CloudSurfer 05:59, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Category:Miscellaneous disorders
Mourning is now supposed to be a psychiatric disorder? You're sad because somebody died; take a pill and make it better. Therapists and therapism are really, really, really, really scary. -- Smerdis of Tlön 01:00, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Narrow in scope
The article, in its current state, could be renamed "Victorian mourning" (on the other hand the article made it pretty clear that was presenting this particular influence). It is awfully specific; no mention of Shiv'ah nor mourning in other cultures. (The reason I thought of this was I was working on Ethiopian Orthodox practices and wondered if I could find something besides similarities with Shiv'ah.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:46, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I agree, and I hope that someone with knowledge of other cultures' mourning customs steps up to the plate and adds them. (Same way with funeral). FWIW, shiv'ah is in fact linked in the article, if only as a see-also. Smerdis of Tlön 20:19, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Please help us add mourning customs for other cultures. I also want to add this picture of Mary Queen of Scots Image:Mary qos mourning.jpg in French mourning at some point. PKM 04:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ethiopia
I have added a little bit about the Ethiopian edir (or iddir). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
