This is a beautiful, comforting and uplifting story for anyone who has lost someone that they love.
From far away, HawaIki called to her. Turning her face to the sun, she was ready for her next adventure.
In the distance, across the shining sea, smiling faces of her ancestors were ready for her, their hands reaching out to welcome her home. Welcome precious one! Welcome!
Author’s note
Farewell, Anahera follows the wairua (spirit) of Anahera as she journeys from her marae to Te Rerenga Wairua (Cape Reinga). This northern-most part of Aotearoa holds spiritual significance in Māori culture as it is the place where spirits depart this world to return to their ancestral homeland. There are different traditions – in some, the spirit travels across the sea to Hawaiki, while in others, the spirit descends to Rarohenga, the underworld realm of Hine-nui-te-pō (Goddess of Night and Death) where they are welcomed by her, and their ancestors.
