Recuerdo también tu mensaje que me motivó a ponerte en contacto con nuestra querida amiga y poetisa Julie Sopetrán. Para mí es un privilegio el recibir mensajes de personas como tú, que a pesar de la distancia comparten mis inquietudes, lo mismo que las de Julie, en referencia a esta hermosa tradición y celebración del Día de los Muertos. Estoy segura que un día visitarás México para el primero y dos de noviembre y vivirás tu experiencia personal de aceptar que la muerte es parte de la vida, sin por ello negar el dolor que nos causa la separación de nuestros seres queridos. Mi afecto sincero y te agradezco que me hayas escrito. Querida María del Pilar:

Ha pasado ya casi un año y medio. En septiembre de este año harán 2 años que tuve la fortuna de teclear Dia de Muertos y ver tu maravilloso trabajo. A través de ti, conocí a una bellísima persona a la vez que Gran poeta en Guadalajara ( España ) Julie Sopetrán. Gracias a ella he superado el trauma por la perdida de mi familia y te estoy muy agradecida por ello.Ojalá la vida me de el regalo y el privilegio de darte las gracias personalmente. Un abrazo y Felicitaciones por tu Blog y por tu trabajo en general. Querida Mary,

Can someone tell me a online-shop where I can buy a "la catrina"? I just find a few at ebay, but I look for a better quality. Hello. Can someone tell me a online-shop where I can buy a “la catrina”?

I love the way they celebrate by making alters and having a lot of flowers surrounding them. I would love to go down to Mexico on el dia de los muertos.

Day of the dead is different because they are happy and celebrate death, and Halloween we dress up as something scary or cute. They are alike because they both talk about death, and in some sort of way they have to do with sugar (sugar skulls, sugar candy).

Instead of mourning them like we do in our culture, they celebrate them for living. I also really like all the preparation that goes into this holiday; all the decorations and food etc. I am really enjoying learning about this holiday and this site has helped me learn more about it.

Day of the Dead has more meaning behind it which I think is really cool. Bringing back the spirits from the dead would be a cool and interesting thing to do.
