About this submission
According to Muslim practice, burial ought to occur within 24-hours of death — so after Manny’s husband, Sameer, passes away suddenly, he is quickly confronted by a representative of Sameer’s family urging Manny to sign the papers necessary to ship the body back home to Kuwait.
Manny spends the next day clinging on to his rights as Sameer's husband, until he finally gets a chance to talk to Sameer's mother, who had been avoiding his calls since the death. By connecting with her, Manny accepts that delaying the burial will not bring his husband back — he cannot delay grief.
