After parents, relatives or friends die; it is respectful to bury them well and where possible to visit and clean their graves regularly. Instead of faltering a prayer in fear, it is good to silently address personal thoughts to them and even bring them news about important events in the family like weddings, ordinations, baptisms, new born babies or how children are doing at school. If any of the close relatives is going through difficulties or has been ill, is appropriate to ask for their guidance and prayers on his or her behalf. If one has just returned from an overseas trip, it is in order to tell them where one has been, as though to say I wish they had been there.
