I'm going through a loss in my family right now, so reading about these Vietnamese traditions really resonates with me. The way they carefully choose the grave's position, keeping it close to home and following feng shui, shows how much they value their connection to their ancestors.
In my own experience, I've been thinking a lot about how to create a lasting tribute for my loved one. I've been looking into flat headstones because they feel simple yet meaningful, which seems like the right way to remember someone who was important to me.
