My mother-in-law, who was 86 years old, passed away peacefully in her sleep in the summer. In dealing with my mother-in-law's funeral, the process of contact with the neighbors in Zhuangxiang made me understand a lot and understand a lot.
First, there are many left-behind elderly people in rural areas, and they have many children, but not many of them live in the villages. Some are close to 80 years old and are still struggling. While boasting about the filial piety of their respective children, they desperately worked odd jobs for money. What worries them the most is that they don't have much money in their hands, and they are afraid that it will affect their future lives. I sigh from the bottom of my heart the fighting spirit of these old people, no matter how hard and tired their days are, they are reluctant to reach out to their children to ask for living expenses. The elderly in rural areas who are in good health are basically more than struggling in life, and they are respectable.
Second, huddle together to keep warm, and care for each other. There are many complicated interpersonal relationships in the village. But in terms of hospice care, the village is the most important, whether the deceased has offended in his life or has a bad relationship, he will come to mourn on the Sabbath day of the deceased to comfort the deceased. It shows the respect of the villagers for the deceased at this moment. No matter what kind of festival you usually have, at this moment, you will be relieved of your suspicions, and the deceased will be greater.
