Flipboard<p>Roseline Mgbodichinma is mourning her aunt. In her beautiful essay for thexylom@journa.host, she writes about grief, the need for witnesses in death, and a Nigerian vegetable soup called egburegbu, the translation of which is “cut” or “kill.” </p><p>“[My aunt] loved egburegbu and on the days we cooked it, she would sit cross-legged in the kitchen, patiently waiting for a serving of her favourite soup. This is how I choose to remember her, as someone who loved without caring about the origins of the life around her, or how it will all end.”</p><p><a href="https://www.thexylom.com/post/perspective-grief-grows-like-ugu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thexylom.com/post/perspective-</span><span class="invisible">grief-grows-like-ugu</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Bereavement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bereavement</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Grief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grief</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Death" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Death</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Essays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Essays</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p><p>10/15</p>
