During the week that we stayed in Calamba, I noticed that when people who paid respect visited my aunt’s wake, my cousin never said thank you to those who had extended their condolences. After a couple of days, we were gathered in the living room talking about the plans on her funeral, 9 days and 40 days, there I came to know that they believe it’s not good to say thank you. The reason? That I don’t know…
So I suggested that they could just send a thank you note after the funeral or on the 9th day, as a token of appreciation to those who have been with us during the whole time. If there were enough funds, I would’ve suggested to give people who had mourned with us some Thank You Gift Baskets along with the thank you notes of course, just to show our big thanks or a simple token of appreciation for spending long nights with us.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
hindi ko ata alam yung pamahiin na yun ah…anyways it is very comforting to have this people by our side during funerals and it is never to late to thank them for being there.
take care.
