February 9: The mother and her daughters with Salem’s newborn son Omar, Mohamed’s brother, born on December 17, 2010—the day Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire. At Mohamed Bouazizi’s home on the 40th day after his death. With his immediate family—his mother, uncle, brother, and sisters—and friends from the neighborhood, they celebrated the 40th day since Mohamed Bouazizi’s death. In Muslim culture, the 40th day is the day when the soul of the deceased leaves the earth to enter paradise, but it is also the day when the parents must accept the departure of their loved one—the day when the period of mourning is declared over. On this day, close relatives gather to eat at the home of the deceased’s family.
