Great podcast, Eddie! This was a rather long one and absolutely loved it. There are still wakes here in the United States, but I think they are a bit more formal than in the past. The last one I attended was for a friend's husband who self-deleted in a not so nice way and he was cremated. The urn was sitting on a table with pictures from his life from his childhood to adulthood with some of his belongings sitting on the table - his favorite hoodie, music CDs, skateboard etc. There was food too. People told stories about his life and after a while we offered our sympathy and support and left.
We had a wake for my aunt god rest her soul in Kilrush County Clare only 3 months ago We didnt drink in the house but there was plenty of food and family + visitors there We had a few drinks in the town and we came back and told stories and enjoyed each others company in the living room area where she was
Agreed. From Monaghan myself and wakes still how we show our final goodbyes. My mother passed away in 2013. Remember very clearly rule about someone having to stay in the room with the coffin not to leave them alone. Lots of friends and family call directly to the house to show respect for person who passed.
Very rare and precious transmission thank you for the moments of culture shared among the entire world ☘️
Eddie!! Love your stuff out here on the Navajo Nation love your stories Sir.
Eddie I love listening to your stories repeatedly it nice to hear a new one could you upload a couple of more
How interesting that Pin the Tail on the Donkey started out as a game played at wakes. Here in the U.S., we play that game at birthday parties.
So wonderful to have a new story & as always so enjoyed❣ TY TY TY 💖 💗 💕
