Into the depths of bereavement

Circling my studies around bereavement and grief, I found out about the headhunting practice that prevailed a few decades ago among the tribal people of the Philippines, India (Nagaland), Indonesia, China, Myanmar, and others.

This practice surprised me, I can never share the common ground regarding what those groups felt about death and bereavement. It raises a significant question: should one delve deeply into uncovering the reasons behind rituals, or simply adhere to what our community has already arranged for us?
