Abstract:
The unavoidable aspects of loss and grief are explored in this study project, which acknowledges their significant influence on shared experiences within communities, societal dynamics, and mental health. The project intends to aid in the mending of society by investigating the far-reaching impacts of loss and grief. Urgent talks are required in light of the spike in mental health issues, which has caused a shift in perspective from seeing these issues as solely personal struggles to acknowledging larger cultural impacts. The research, which takes a social perspective on mourning, recognises grief as a societal fabric that weaves together personal stories and builds bonds. Through the use of a multimodal approach that incorporates auto-ethnography, critical cinema analysis, and structured interview, the study looks at various mourning landscapes that are impacted by cultural dynamics and socioeconomic considerations. It seeks to advance awareness of mental health issues through this perspective, promoting social healing and group comprehension.
