Our family is pretty much connected to us. They are already a part of who we are. When a person really close to us will go away, we will really miss them. The more if the person will die, you cannot help but mourn and cry.
On the story " The Sweet Unforgettable Day", I could not really relate on it because I have not yet experienced the loss or death of a family member. But I believed that what they experienced was really the presence of their mother. I believed it because I also believed that the spirit world really exist, that there are other inhuman beings that lives in this world and that some souls' of the dead are still here on earth, watching us. When they want to be noticed, they find ways to do it. Like moving something, releasing scent associated with them, playing music, appearing on a dream or letting you see them.
I have also some experiences with those beings, actually I have already seen a white lady. I knew a story related to the text and it was an experience of my grandmother. I have a cousin who was already dead before I was born, and he is close to my grandmother. Last 2008, on the birthday of my dead cousin, my lola told us a story that happened that day. While my lola is sleeping, she suddenly woke up because someone kissed her cheek. She really felt the lips that touched her skin and heard a smack sound, but when she opened her eyes, she saw no one. She then remembered that that day was the birthday of my dead cousin. We just assumed that my cousin just reminded us that it is his birthday, because we almost forgot it.
The experience of my grandmother reminds us that the spirits must not be feared. They are there to remind us of something, maybe good or bad. They are not there to hurt us, just like what's implied on horror movies. They will never hurt us. They are just there to communicate, to talk or to clear things up.
