Daniela Nogueira is a psychologist who organized the 3rd European Congress on Grief, an event dedicated to the theme of grief. During the congress, she spoke about grief as an "adaptation to a new reality," offering a psychological perspective on the process of facing loss.
The specialist mentioned that the weeping women, traditional figures in funeral rituals, were paid to cry and express pain on behalf of the bereaved family. This is a cultural aspect that Daniela Nogueira brought to the discussion during the event.
According to the psychologist, although grief is a universal theme that affects everyone at some point in life, it continues to be a taboo subject in society. This contradiction between the universality of the theme and its taboo status was one of the central points of her speech at the congress.
