In Afa, Ofu Ete describes sorrow as the experience of carrying emotional pain through a process of transition. Ofu represents wholeness and endurance, while Ete represents movement and passage across emotional states. Together, they explain mourning as a journey through grief rather than simple suffering. This teaching shows that sorrow is part of how human beings process loss, memory, and emotional transformation.
