Honoring those who have died before us

Breathing Through Grief

My hair used to be down past my shoulder, just reaching below my collar bone. I cut it myself because it was too long and this was the outcome.

As you saw in the last picture, it is now shaved!

This is a Buddhist tradition. When someone dies and they have services at the temple, males (if they choose) will become novice monks and females can choose to become a nun. In doing so this helps the spirit during the transition after the physical death.

For me, I had to shave my head, my eye brows, and my beard.
