Man Sleeps With Dead Wife For 5 Years

They say love knows no boundaries, but this is taking it a little too far. A Vietnamese man has been sleeping next to his wife’s corpse for the last five years.
Le Van, a 55-year-old man from Quang Nam province, Vietnam, lost his wife in 2003. Because he couldn’t go to sleep at night without hugging his beloved spouse, he slept on top of her grave for about 20 months. When he couldn’t stand the rain and wind anymore, he decided to dig a tunnel into the grave, so he could sleep with his wife.

When the kids heard his crazy plan, they did everything they could to stop him, so Le Van had to think of another way he could cuddle up to his wife at night. In 2004 he unearthed her remains, wrapped them in pieces of paper and a clay mould and put a dummy mask on her face. The man has been sleeping next to his dead wife ever since.

Escapist,

I agree with you it is going too far. I would say it is disrespect to the departed soul to have her mortal remains used this way. Don't we wish peace to the departed soul?

Take care

That is rather scary to be honest. She needs to be able to rest in peace, and he needs to learn to comes to term with her passing.

Well she certainly looks gravely ill.. Seriously, it is weird. I can't imagine a family member being used for that purpose.
By the way, your poetry is so very nice.

Holy cow, that is kind of sweet in a creepy way. That doesn't seem very sanitary to sleep with a decomposing body.
