The resolution reflects an understanding of how death affects not only individual families but also the broader community. By promoting a communal approach to mourning and remembrance, HR98 is designed to encourage localities to support activities that honor the deceased.

The resolution aims to help establish local policies or guidelines that can enhance family support networks during periods of grief.

Summary

HR98, a resolution introduced by Harry Giddens, addresses the impact of loss and the importance of community support for families mourning the passing of their loved ones. The bill emphasizes the necessity of recognizing the emotional and social challenges that arise when individuals face the death of a close family member.

Contention

While the HR98 resolution focuses on the significance of community and support systems, there may be points of contention regarding the extent of government involvement in private mourning practices.
