Breaking seven is the last seven, that is, seven seven. According to superstition, 49 days after death, people will be completely isolated from the world, either reincarnated or become ghosts, and there is no possibility of reincarnation, which means "they will die completely." Breaking seven is the last step to complete the funeral ceremony. After this ceremony, we will say goodbye to the dead completely. Everyone can burn flowers and black veil, get rid of sad mood and return to normal life.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to express condolences and nostalgia for the deceased, but there should be a limit to mourning and nostalgia, so it takes seven days as a stage and seven stages. After 49 days, I will remind you that it's time to recover from the sad mood, don't always immerse yourself in it, and live on.
