‘Mourning’ is, in the simplest sense, synonymous with grief over the death of someone. The word is also used to describe a cultural complex of behaviors in which the bereaved participate or are expected to participate. Customs vary between different cultures and evolve over time, though many core behaviors remain constant.
‘Morning’ is the period of time between midnight and noon or, more commonly, the interval between sunrise and noon. [1] Morning precedes afternoon, evening, and night in the sequence of a day. Originally, the term referred to sunrise.
‘White’ In color psychology white is the color of new beginnings, wiping the slate clean, so to speak. It is the blank canvas waiting to be written upon. White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness.
