@freemumba75: In many Zambian cultures, when you attend a funeral and the family serves you food, please try to eat. ❤️ We don't eat because we are hungry or because we don't have food at home. We eat with the grieving family as a sign of comfort, solidarity and support. Sometimes, sitting down and sharing a meal is our way of saying, “We are here with you. You are not alone.” And importantly, we also encourage the bereaved family to eat because grief can be overwhelming, and they need strength to face the days ahead. It's more than food. It's community. It's comfort. It's culture. 🕊️❤️ #zambiantiktok🇿🇲🇿🇲 #fypシ #madammumba #madammumba #funeraletiquette
