In "The Giver," the Ceremony of Loss is a ritual held to acknowledge the loss of a community member who has been released (killed). It serves as a way for the community to grieve the loss and to maintain order and control by reinforcing the idea that individual lives are secondary to the needs of the community.
The Ceremony of Loss was a ceremony where the entire Community would repeat the lost persons name throughout the day and would gradually fade off until the person faded from their conciousness.
The ceremony of loss is when someone dies(not from release) and the people suddenly forget about them.
The Ceremony in "The Giver" occurred in the month of December.
