The changing face of how Māori deal with death in Australia

[@ann-mariemeurs952]

Been in oz since 95. Mum bought us here as kids after dad died. All i can say is that you never stop missing home. I would break down crying randomly at least twice a year because of how much i missed home. My life is here now. Married an aussie and have a son now. When i die i will be cremated and my ashes spread over the ocean. As much as i want to go home to be buried by my father i dont want my son to be tied to one place whenever he wants to "see" me. I missed my dad and was always sad about the fact that i couldnt go see him whenever i wanted. I want my son to know that i am everywhere all at once so im with him wherever he goes.

Ive been in Aussie since 82 and came with my parents as a kid. My parents have passed here and were cremated and sent back to the family urupa as per their wishes. It connects me and mine. When I go the same will happen, my husband who had doubts about going as well,, will also come with me. This I hope will have connections for my kids.
