BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Mourning - Nine Nights

Maaureesha Shaw talks to Euella Jackson about the traditional way of mourning in Jamaica.

We tend not to talk about death and how we mourn, but here Euella Jackson invites fellow Jamaican Maaureesha Shaw to discuss their traditional practice of nine nights.

Euella Jackson explores how we navigate grief with fellow Jamaican Maaureesha Shaw as they discuss the tradition of nine nights - the period that is spent in mourning prior to the funeral. Do rituals help? What can we learn from the rituals and traditions of other cultures and beliefs?  Producer Sarah Bunt

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
