Healing Heridas: The Spanglish Guide
The day of the dead
In this episode, I honor the wonderful Mexican tradition that is El Dia De Los Muertos. I will dive into why la muerte should be a safe topic and not a taboo topic. Despite generational differences, superstitions, and historical traumas; the day of the dead offers a rich cultural framework for discussing la muerte within our latino families by:
1. creating ofrendas
2. storytelling
3. cultural rituals
4. reflection and remembrance
5. Art and creativity
