When I was trying to figure out what to post for this day, I asked Julie Berggren for some ideas. She offered this article, Tahara: Respect for the dead and comfort for the living.
Take some time to read and sit with the article as it shares the longstanding Jewish tradition of tahara, the preparing of a body for burial.
Once you have read it, here are a few thoughts -
- What Catholic traditions, prayers, or experiences would you offer during this time between death and burial?
- How can you be present for the space between death and burial?
