Okonkwo treated his daughter Obiageli as a beautiful female to be married off to a high-ranking and respectable Ibo warrior.

When will you stop crying over your sister's death?

You will probably stop crying over your sister's death after you have had sufficient time to grieve. The amount of time needed is different for each person. If you decide you have gone too long in the crying stage but can't seem to get beyond it, you may want to seek counseling from someone outside your immediate family, such as a spiritual adviser or a psychological professional. They may be able to help you move along.
