Most of you won’t like this.
Many of you might Judge it.
Be shocked by it.
Disgusted even.
Creeped out.
Scared. Angry.

The Death Ritual of the Toraja tribe in Sulawesi, Indonesia is one that’s hard to wrap our heads around.

Because we see Death very differently.
We mourn. We grieve. We don’t even openly discuss it much.

But this tribe? They celebrate it. They never truly let go.
And they don’t ever really say goodbye.

This is the Manene ritual.
Where their loved ones are excavated, cleaned, refreshed, introduced to younger family members, and buried again only to be removed a couple years later again.

It’s hard to understand and we don’t even need to.
This has been their life for centuries.
And I thank it for giving me a new perspective on loss and grief.

What about you?
