Alas today, All Souls Day, ends the three
days of celebrating our beloved dead. We
can actually find some amusement, if not
actual fun, on October 31st. November 1st,
is heartbreak of heartbreaks as we bare our
souls for the children we have lost. Today,
we celebrate those adults we have each lost
in our lives.
Obviously, there are some who are ill and
need to go, and although there is sorrow,
there is also relief. There are young people,
albeit adults, who go years too early, and
that just hurts on several levels. Sadly, we
have all lost family and friends. Sometimes,
our grief is so overwhelming, we're not
certain we can go on.
Right or wrong, these yearly three day
celebrations of life over death, and the vast
sorrow also felt, actually help to cope with
loss. I find myself grateful for these Days
of the Dead. So today, think of your loved
ones, cook their favorite foods, sing their
special songs, tell tales out of school . . . and
if you are so inclined, build a precious altar.
pray come back today
oh daddy how i miss you
tales of death abhor
