Abstract
AbstractNonverbal forms of communication are just as important as verbal ones. This article investigates nonverbal communication observed in response to acts of tragedy, primarily those brought about by acts of terror or by untimely death. Nonverbal communication at these moments takes the form of balloons cards, candles, letters, pictures of the deceased, personal items and street protests. Furthermore, as an element of culture, these nonverbal expressions of sorrow convey meaning to those participants at the site of the tragedy and to those observing at a distance. In essence, both groups have a shared sense of thinking and responding to these events in almost a similar manner.
