夫の戒名

2016.01.17

夫は生前家族の誰も知らないうちに戒名を用意していた。いろいろ夫婦で喧嘩もしたし、子供たちも反抗期があったのに、、家族全員の名前の入った戒名。
21年前の今日、芦屋で被災した。あのとき、多くの方々が、ご自分の家族や友人を、ご遺骨や御位牌を充分に準備する時間も余裕もなく見送られたのだとその無念さを改めて思った。今日は静かに一日を過ごそう。
My late husband prepared his posthumous Buddhist name before he passed without telling about it to the family.First names of the family are all included in in his Buddhist name. 
Today is a day when the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake attacked our family 21 years ago. I realized that many people had to inter the family and friend without having enough time to prepare the funeral. I will never forget the people’s mortification  at that time. I will spend quiet time today.
