I think that the Mexican way of celebrating life as well as death makes more sense than running away from it.

I wish your school community all the power of belief and hope.<br /><br />There is so much in this post I can relate to, being Portuguese and having a very strong connection to my country, where I was born and still have most of my family, including my dear mother.<br /><br />The way death is handled is so different. Grief is open and discussed among family and friends and neighbors. And people truly are allowed to grieve as a community. It's so completely different than in the US and other parts of Europe. But there you go, Mexico and the other Latin countries share that common heritage.<br /><br />These are gorgeous shadow shots and all the more poignnat given what you all have experienced with the passing of Ana-Luisa. WHich by they way, is the name of a cousin of mine in Portugal. Exact same spelling, of course. Beautiful name.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361177678919142183.post-91239190639749811742009-05-17T09:00:00.000-07:002009-05-17T09:00:00.000-07:00It had to have been a heartbreaking week!
