BEYOND WORDS: NAVIGATING THE LANDSCAPE OF NON-VERBAL SYMPATHY AND CONDOLENCES IN CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES
Abstract
This article delves into the non-verbal manifestations of sympathy and condolences within the English language context. It sheds light on the pivotal role played by facial expressions, touch, body language, and posture in effectively communicating empathy. The research underscores the necessity of attunement to non-verbal cues when providing support, taking into consideration cultural diversities and individual preferences. By grasping the influential nature of non-verbal communication in times of sorrow, individuals can enrich their ability to offer authentic support and solace.
