RE: by your bedside

in Blockchain Poets4 months ago

I read once that the aborigines in Australia have a custom where they never mention a person again after that person has passed away.

I think the article may have said that they even burn all of that person’s belongings and essentially erase all traces of his/her existence.

I’ve always wondered how that works, and how they feel about death, how they grieve, etc.

I don’t know why but your comment reminded me of that.

Greetings @boxcarblue ,

Oh dear...I did think about changeing my wording where I wrote...they do not miss them any less....as it could come across quite the opposite meaning....Christianity teaches to honour the dead and that though we will miss them very much, we have the confidence that we will see them again one day in Heaven...if they are believers in Christ.

Very sorry about the poor Aborigines case...so sad.

Kind Regards, Bleujay
