Among some peoples of the Pacific islands, widows or widowers are forced to wear black clothing and go into mourning for months, locked up in a house where they must refrain from eating the deceased person’s favorite foods.
Di beberapa masyarakat Kepulauan Pasifik, janda dan duda dipaksa memakai baju hitam dan berkabung selama berbulan - bulan, disekap dalam sebuah rumah tempat mereka tidak boleh makan makanan kesukaan almarhum.
