re: #89 Obdicut

There is something to be said for the Jewish burial rituals - and how it deals with the grieving process not just in the immediate aftermath of the death, but the process for the entire first year following and thereafter (sitting shiva, kaddish, unveiling, etc.). Then again, the idea of throwing a party to celebrate a person’s life (the Irish wake) does hold some appeal.

How we deal with death is a good way to get insight into how we view life.
