Today, I found myself thinking about something we rarely discuss:
What do we actually want when we’re gone?
For me, if I leave this world before old age, please do not assume I wanted a celebration centered around food, socializing, and catching up.
If my husband and children are grieving, I would rather people come, pray, offer comfort, pay their respects, and quietly return home.
Feed the hungry.
Help a struggling family.
Support a widow.
Bless a child in need.
Let our final wishes be known instead of assumed.
My funeral is not a party.
Grief is not entertainment.
Let’s have these conversations while we are still here.

It’s about time! It’s become impossible to differentiate between funerals and parties - from the food, clothes to entertainment 👏

Nneoma... You will not die at 65! I thought I was not thinking right untill algorithm brought your post. We all express grief differently but then.... Every mallam with him kettle.
