This work delves into the traditions and customs of Eastern Finnish society, particularly focusing on end-of-life practices surrounding illness, death, and funerals. It provides insight into both the communal and familial traditions of the time, portraying how individuals navigated the emotional landscape of death. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the character of an elderly woman, referred to as "mummo," who reflects on her life and impending death while conversing with family members. Through her thoughts and dialogues, we learn of the experiences and beliefs surrounding sickness, traditional healing practices, and the rituals that accompany the transition from life to death. The mix of practical advice, personal reflections, and cultural rituals weaves a rich tapestry of the customs connected with the preparations for death and the emotional responses of those left behind. The tone is both intimate and reflective, inviting readers to consider the depth of human experience in the face of mortality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
