Abstract

Manifestation of emotions, including mourning, differs from culture to culture and from one historical context to another. Grieving practices are determined by the life world and regulated by the social system. Child death is a taboo topic in urban discourse. However, during the folklore-anthropological expeditions in the Russian North, we noted that women were ready to talk about it and shared their personal experience of losing children (or siblings). Our focus is on the practice of experiencing loss in the village community. The material for the analysis was the records of the open electronic archive «Russian everyday life». Field work was carried out in the territories of Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions from  to .
