For many Latinos, the death or illness of a relative often spurs a desire to preserve a connection to family roots. But keeping family traditions alive and nurturing ancestral pride in succeeding generations requires effort.
Ask Carmen Milagro how her deep connections to her Salvadoran roots were formed and solidified, and you get a swift, simple answer: her mami.
So, when her mother was in the final stretch of a cancer battle, Milagro stuck close by her side, desperate to find something that would ease her suffering, to abate the pain that seemed to seep into every bone.She harvested herbs from the backyard, pulled out the coconut oil, and used the ingredients she found to create concoctions to soothe her mother’s dry skin and massage away aches and stiffness.
She not only wanted to honor her mother, who died nine years ago, but she also wanted to find a way to maintain the bonds to her Salvadoran heritage. Keeping family traditions alive and nurturing ancestral pride in succeeding generations requires effort.
