Grief rituals, such as those in Judaism, are structured to allow individuals to experience grief gradually and in a sustainable way. These rituals are designed to honor the deceased while acknowledging that the mourning process evolves over time. Grief is seen as a necessary part of life, emphasizing the importance of respect for the deceased and the relationship shared with them. While suffering is recognized as a key aspect of life, pleasure also holds significance. It is crucial to acknowledge and address loneliness and provide comfort and companionship, even if it means utilizing modern technology. Neglecting to support and engage with loved ones in times of need reflects a failure to show proper care and respect.
