My shop has been at a heavy loss since the day my nephew's wife died. I know I'll recover the losses sooner or later, but it will take time. Many of customers have been buying groceries from the other shop. I hope they will be back to mine the day I resume my business. Some rituals are being performed. I've to participate in them. And for the same reason I have now been irregular and less active here.

I'm so sorry for what you've been going through. I hope your customers will understand your situation, and that they will come back to you again soon. How long are the rituals?

Thank you. The rituals will take ten days to complete. A little time back I was back from my nephew's house. I hope I will attract my customers again, but it is not that easy. Still I'm confident.

@Shivram59 In Bali, Balinese Hindu cremation ceremonies often take a significant amount of time to organize. Priests determine the most auspicious dates, and while families wait, they are deeply involved in continuous preparations. Because of these traditions, the deceased's body is sometimes kept for days or weeks. For many, including me, this is so exhausting.

I'm sorry your business is suffering because you are helping family. I hope customers will flock back when you are able to open again.

Thank you. Though it will take some time, but finally I'll attract my regular customers back. Sometimes such incidents happen and you have to face some problems.

I’m sorry you have sad things to deal with. Tradition says you must remain closed until those rituals are done? I wish there was someone else who could run it while you attend to family matters.

I'm sorry to hear of this. It's a difficult situation to go through. The loss of a family member, and then losses with the business.

I'm so sorry about that. Hopefully, things will pick up when you resume. Just believe in God
