Hi friends,
My 14 year old teenage nephew passed away 3 years ago now… I’ve been thinking about including him on my ancestor altar, but haven’t for two reasons: One, his untimely passing was too sad and it broke my heart to even think about - it obviously still does, but I’m more healed about it now and can usually think of him and smile, (rather than spiralling negatively about it).
And two, I wasn’t sure about including a child on the altar? I definitely don’t want to “ask” him for things (I’ll always be his aunty… he should be here asking ME for things), but I do want to honour him and bless his spirit.
I’d love to hear some thoughts from this community about having children on the altar. ❤️
Include him 🙏🏿
