Where the Dead Pause, and the Japanese Say Goodbye by Marie Mutsuki Mockett |
Following the death of her Japanese grandfather in 2011, Mockett returned to Japan for the traditional burial of her grandfather's bones. Japan, too, was in mourning. The recent earthquake and tsunami had taken many lives, and the nuclear disaster at Fukushima was casting a shadow over the land. Mockett's account of her spiritual pilgrimage in Japan as she grieved the loss of her grand-father is beautiful and compelling. One of the best stories touching on Fukushima that I have read.
