Rituals are something we view as external actions, to mark a rite of passage or honor the spirits of our ancestors. The Day of the Dead is just one of these spiritual traditions.
A death doula explains what to say to someone who is dying. Even if they appear to be asleep, you can use telepathy to send these messages through words and more.
No matter your religious background or tradition, All Souls' Day and Day of the Dead provide the ideal opportunity to honor ancestors and departed loved ones at the moment the veil between worlds is at its thinnest.
