What an interesting topic! I live in Mexico now for the last 5 years and I love the Día de los muertos tradition. I think it’s so interesting to see how other cultures handle death because for sure the American culture doesn’t have a collective way of doing it.

No, we definitely don't! Which makes it that much more difficult to manage when someone does die. I'm working on a death-centered retreat and Mexico is one of the places I want to hold it. (Lucky you, by the way!)

So cool! I love living here! Let me know if you want to talk Mexico anytime! I’ve learned so much being here and all the inside info about where the best day of the dead celebrations are ❤️❤️

And I agree, it’s tough. As my parents grow older I’m kind of terrified of the inevitable and dealing with all of it by myself 😞
