Grief is a universal experience, but the way it is experienced and expressed can vary significantly in different cultures around the world or in a multicultural environment. Cultural practices, religious beliefs, and traditions profoundly influence how people cope with the loss of a loved one.  

It is important, however, to note that even within the same culture, grief practices can vary widely depending on factors such as religion, geographic region, and each family itself. Respecting and understanding these cultural differences are essential when offering support to someone who is experiencing a grieving process.
