suksma, bali 🇮🇩🤍 by @miaroseherrick

receiving the news of my uncle anthony’s sudden passing while traveling in south east asia, a 12 hour time difference & 10,000 miles from my family has been one of the hardest things i have had to deal with in a long time. so many feelings, mostly negative, washed over me since last saturday..the biggest one being guilt. guilty that i am always traveling or living away from my relatives.. guilty that there isn’t any possible way for me to make the funeral today… guilty that it feels like im always on the run. i am also full of sadness, loneliness, and anger.

i knew that i had to just feel my feelings. what else can i do but try and do whatever is in my control to be there for my family from thousands of miles away. i knew i needed to do something to honor the life of my uncle, my sweet, charismatic, funny uncle anth. i decided to go on a journey to the Taman Beji Griya waterfall in Bali & partake in a Melukat (soul purification) ritual.

i came into this not knowing what to expect, how i would feel, or if it would actually mean anything so i looked into how i could make this experience circulated around my uncle, as well as my father, who are my strongest guardian angels. the last couple slides are the baseline of my intentions during this ceremony.

i ended up having a beautiful experience, filled with tears and letting go. the balinese & hindu culture is so interesting. i love learning about new cultures and religions so this was an amazing experience all around.

uncle anth, i love you so much. you will be missed immensely by everyone who got the lucky chance to know you.

to my family, my mom & brother, my aunts & uncles & cousins, i’m so sorry i can’t be there with you on this incredibly difficult day. i love you all so much and you’re all i can think about. stay strong and keep me in your hearts today as you carry each other through this time.

🤍🪽- mia
