Death and how we deal with it

Rule: Death is something we avoid
Exception: In Ireland they knew how to share your sorrows

In Sweden people tend to avoid you when someone in your family dies. Or they first show care but soon they think that you should be over it, start acting normal or so. Definitely not talk about it.

But in Ireland, where everyone went to funerals all the time, where it was part of life, people knew it could take time.

Mourning takes time. And every death is unique.
