What is the true meaning of a funeral 'wake'?
Is it Keeping Wide Awake Every-night jumbled up?
What is the real purpose of having a 'wake' when someone passed away?
To give our loved one a memorial?
Or a bonding session for the ones who are left behind?
Don't ask me why I'm having such thoughts...
But the idea came during the first night.
Nobody seem to be that sad after all...
Probably it was an expected thing for this case.
I couldn't help but think that it is such a disrespect to behave as though nothing had happened.
Especially to the direct family members.
But to think of it...
Would the one who had left be happy to see that everyone is heartbroken at his/her departure?
When they should be happy that he/she is finally freed from all the pain and suffering.
I suppose the departured one would be happy to see those left behind not feeling pain.. but relief for him/her.
Don't misjudge me as being bad-hearted.
Personally, I feel that death is a relief for those in pain...
Though those left behind are to suffer emotional pain.
But ultimately our destination, as human, is death, isn't it?
