Awhi — to embrace, to support, to hold close.
In times of grief, it is the quiet act of standing beside someone, offering comfort without needing words.

At times of loss in any culture, a final goodbye carries both love and loss — acknowledging the journey ahead, and the absence that remains.

Poroporoaki contain beautiful language and express people’s grief. Metaphoric language and allusions to the tribal connections, geographic places of significance, traditional places that the spirits of the dead are believed to travel to, and the status and work of the deceased, are a feature of poroporoaki. For these reasons they are difficult to translate so that the full meaning is expressed in English. Poroporoaki address the person as though alive, as the belief is that the wairua (spirit) remains with the body for a time before burial.

In a tangihanga (traditional Māori funeral), the body (tūpāpaku) is buried on the final day, after being mourned on the marae.
