148. Thirteen Days of Mourning

It has been three days since my mother-in-law passed away and the serenity of the mood in mourning seem to devour us. Pooja's and prayers are being offered and rituals are being practiced. Life has to go on though. Someone even mentioned that Amma decidedly left on a Sunday so as not to disturb our lives. Children had to go to school and workers to their workplace. The VERY practical person in me is not good at going through all those. For me, past is past and we should look at what life has in store for us - the living. Some people may not relate to how I view things but I have always been against outward show of grief and remorse. Deep inside me, I may be sad. But delving on those emotions will not bring anyone back to life...and I am sure my mother-in-law, practical person that she is, approves of that because she knows that deep inside, I am pained of her leaving.
