Uno de los momentos más difíciles que debemos enfrentar los individuos es el momento de la muerte. Este momento crucial es vivido de forma complicada no solo para la persona que fallece sino también por su deudos, por eso, antes, la cultura ritualizaba este momento; determinaba ciertas reglas de comportamiento ante el difunto, ciertos pasos frente a la muerte y el enfermo, y finalmente, se establecía el tiempo de duelo por la pérdida del ser querido según el grado de parentesco. Estos procesos culturales ayudaban a que el sufrimiento de la familia y el enfermo sea sostenido por el apoyo de la comunidad, lo cual facilitaba el tránsito por este proceso. | Translation - English
One of the most difficult moments that we should face is death. This crucial moment is experienced in a complicated manner not only for the person that dies but also for who is left behind, that is why in the past the culture ritualized this moment; it determined certain rules of behavior before the deceased, certain steps in front of death and sick person, and finally, it was determined time of grief for the loss of the loved one according to the degree of relationship. These cultural procedures helped with the family pain and the sick person sustained by the support of the community, which facilitated the transition for this process. | | Spanish to English: “Tigrillos” Hydroelectric Project | Source text - Spanish
