Mourning is, in the simplest sense, synonymous with grief over the death of someone. The word is also used to describe a cultural complex of behaviours in which the bereaved participate or are expected to participate. Customs vary between different cultures and evolve over time, though many core behaviors remain constant.
Wearing black clothes is one practice followed in many countries, though other forms of dress are also seen. Those most affected by the loss of a loved one often observe a period of grieving, marked by withdrawal from social events and quiet, respectful behavior. People may also follow certain religious traditions for such occasions.
Mourning may also apply to the death of, or anniversary of the death of, an important individual like a local leader, monarch, religious figure etc. State mourning may occur on such an occasion. In recent years some traditions have given way to less strict practices, though many customs and traditions continue to be followed.
In Ethiopia, an Edir is a traditional community organization whose members assist each other during the mourning process. Members make monthly financial contributions forming the Edir's fund. They are entitled to receive a certain sum of money from this fund, whose rate varies based on how close the deceased is to the Edir member. The purpose for such payment is to help cover funeral and other expenses associated with deaths. Additionally, Edir members comfort the mourners: female members take turns doing housework, such as preparing food for the mourning family, while male members usually take the responsibility to arrange the funeral and erect a temporary tent to shelter guests who come to visit the mourning family. Edir members are required to stay with the mourning family and comfort them for three full days.[citation needed]
Alonzo Harding Mourning, Jr. (born February 8, 1970) is a former American professional basketball player, who played most of his 15-year NBA career for the Miami Heat.
Nicknamed "Zo", Mourning played at center. His tenacity on defense twice earned him NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award and perennially placed him on the NBA All-Defensive Team. He made a comeback after undergoing a kidney transplant and later won his only NBA Championship with the Heat. He has also played for the Charlotte Hornets and New Jersey Nets. On March 30, 2009, Mourning became the first Miami Heat player to have his number retired.
During his time at Indian River High School in Chesapeake, Virginia, he led the team to 51 straight victories and a state title his junior year (1987). As a senior he averaged 25 points, 15 rebounds and 12 blocked shots a game. He was named Player of the Year by USA Today, Parade, Gatorade, and Naismith. Mourning played college basketball for the Georgetown University Hoyas. He led the nation in blocked shots his freshman year and was an All American his last year there.
Ali Newman (born Jason Newman in 1978), better known by the stage name Brother Ali, is an American hip hop artist signed to Rhymesayers Entertainment.
Brother Ali was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and spent his early childhood moving from city to city in the Midwest (mostly in Michigan). Ali's family settled in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1992. He attended Robbinsdale Cooper High School in New Hope, Minnesota. He has a son, Faheem, from his first marriage, and remarried in 2008. On the song "Real As Can Be" off his [EP] "Truth is Here" he says he also has a daughter on the way. According to the song "Fresh Air" on his September 2009 album Us, he goes on to say "Just got married last year/ treated so good that it ain't even fair/ already gotta boy now the baby girl's here/ Bought us a house like The Berenstein Bears." He has family in the Minneapolis area. Brother Ali takes family very seriously and sees it as a major part of life.
Ali was born with the rare genetic condition of albinism, a disorder characterized by a lack of pigment in skin, eyes, and hair. Brother Ali often makes fun of the media's constant urge to mention his condition in the first lines of their reviews or newspaper articles. He is also legally blind which is caused by his albinism.

Book Review | Mourning Doves By K. M. Vittetoe
fading into
the morning leaves you
total regress,
she put on my dress
and walked right out into the day,
walk right out into the day
it isn't so bad,
shouldn't be so sad,
another morning,
and i'm still mourning
walk right out into the day,
walk right out into the day,
walk right out...
you're still in my bed,
and i still feel your breath on the back of my neck....
you left too soon
why'd god take you?
leave me alone,
put on my coat,
and walk right out into the day,
walk right out into the day,
Is there something that you're trying to say
Don't hold back now
It's been a long time since I felt this way
So, don't hold back now
I purposely forgot about
Loving anyone
'Cause I'm the only one who has
Who has been stepped upon
Is there something that you're trying to say
'Cause I can take it
'Cause I grew up a man this way
I'm hurt I'll shake it
I'll crawl back into my cave
That's how I'll make it
'Cause out of all this hurt we have
Beauty thus become
Beauty thus become
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
Wishing all the best for you
And now I'll say goodbye
'Cause all the lies that we've been through
Put wisdom in my eyes
So, walk away, don't turn around
'Cause I won't be standing here
'Cause all the lies that I've been living through
Are becoming very clear
And beauty thus become
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
Then you conned me into thinking that all I had was you
The small insinuations were cutting me through, cutting me through
And now I stand alone here stronger than before
And I'll never go back, never go back never go
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Not wear black
Be it not of the same faith
Living trials can’t be won
In the end the hands will be held back
In the eyes September sun
The magic’s gone
Tempting fate with the surest of hands
Come to be a profession, to walk with
You in a mind of many lands
Has been my sole obsession
The magic’s here
Always cherish and always hold
Not in health but in sickness
And in the realm when all is said and told
There is no equal likeness
The morning has just begun
Good morning to everyone
I'm sorry I'm down again
Just tryin' to get up again
Chorus:
Can't you
understand
Don't want to ruin
your day
With my silly hate
Just can't understand
And I'll
never accept
Those lives wasted in
vain
What is it for?
Don't you get me
wrong
This won't last for
long
I just had a bad dream
Of a soldier's last
scream
Chorus
Wander the path of the night
Silence comes so sweet to me
clearness beauty of infinity
Majestic landscapes of metal misery
Passionless without meaning
so raven dark, but I find release
from my inner pain
You are the reason of sadness
My forlorn love
The mouring of my soul, nature of
my life
So I fall into oblivion, a good
occasion to die
In the mourning, I see no reason to live
You are my liberty the key to other spheres
the gleam from a falling star
as you died my heart is broken
Wander the path of the night
silence comes sweet to me
clearness beauty of infinity
Majestic landscapes of metal misery
so raven dark passionless
without you there?s no meaning
in my life, so I fall into oblivion
Those vibrant eyes
Still shining care
Running dry
Tear me inside
Elusive anger, mesmerized
Ungrateful mind
Searching for reasons
A love growing vividly
Confined inside your vault
Allow thee forgiveness
Fate or learning
You'll be fine
Waiting, pretending
Let nature run its course
Baby, let go for life has gone
Carry on
A constant dream, us hand in hand
Through better days
A peaceful place, a perfect life
All gain, no pain
Wake up, relief's a blink
In these recurring dreams he always runs away
And leaves me an image of his unknown face
Which fades to grey with consciousness in place
Life's so confusing
Mutating maze, unlabelled doors
Shadows illude us
But together we'll be alright
Waiting, pretending
Let nature run its course
Baby, let go for life has gone
Carry on
Relieve those eyes
Wipe off your tears
Redeem your smile
It hurts me to see you incessantly weeping
Free me, for I share the pain that you're feeling
Waiting, pretending
Let nature run its course
Baby, let go for life has gone
Carry on
Still waiting, pretending
Let nature run its course
Baby, let go for life has gone
Carry on
Redeem your smile
Wipe off your tears
