WHEN SOMEONE GOES THROUGH TRANSITION

In our  Mi'kmaw culture, when someone is dying we all gather and we do something called Apiksiktatultimk , (And act of Forgiving each other).

When the person is about to pass we try to hold back our tears so that they can go through  transition into the spirit world. 

Once someone passes we hold a 3 day wake.

 After the person is buried we gather and have a feast and an auction to help the family of the deceased, to pay for funeral costs.

There's more to our culture around death.

When the rain falls upon the deceased blessings are passed down to generations   before us and we humbly embrace  the good memories of the passing,,,,

It reminds us all to show love in our path to being happy,  in sad times and mourning.  

When you cannot find a smile,  then we all have to move on in our journey that will never end..,,the living and the dead .
