The family was devastated. Carmen collapsed in pain, screaming inconsolably. Her husband, Don Rogelio, remained motionless, staring at the photo of Isela placed on the coffin. In the image, Isela was smiling radiantly, her eyes full of life.
When it was time to move the coffin, eight strong young men came forward to carry it to the hearse. But something wasn’t right.

“He’s still sad… she’s not ready to leave.”
The officiating priest spoke in a low voice:
“Open the coffin. She still has something to say.”
