Spirits

Where does spirit go after death? Nobody knows until you die. But it must be a supernatural occurrence as the same as the birth of a new life. In my country Japan, after the cremation, the family uses long chopsticks to collect bone fragments for the urn. Traditionally the urn is placed in a family grave within 49 days after the funeral. Because in Buddhism, it is believed that dead person's spirit or soul survives for up to 49 days to make the journey to the world of the dead.

My grandmother's ashes moved next to her husband's urn in the grave on 49th. In a sense, it would be a real good-bye. Everything is like a dream for me, because I haven't seen her last. But always love you. Rest in eternal peace.
