Re: Visiting the dead
I like cemeteries, they're usually well tended and I like having a wander, reading the headstones but I don't visit my parents grave much - just find I feel worse after a visit so don't go regularly, I know they'd understand so I don't feel bad about it.Re: Visiting the dead
Well Jem, not all graveyards are dark and dreary. If I could work out how to do it I'd post a pic on here of our local Church. My Mum and my late husband are buried there and I take flowers to them most weeks. I do talk to them too, but it doesn't mean I don't think about them at any other time. I do, however, quite understand your post and whatever is right for you, is the right thing to do.Re: Visiting the dead
Re: Visiting the dead
Mum and Dad's place is just outside the village up a very long and twisty lane. At the top are a few houses, a huge house and estate, and the church and cemetery. It's also slightly elevated and in the middle of the airfield's circuit. The only sounds are the light aircraft and birds. It is delightfully tranquil so I always feel at peace there, even though I'm visiting my parents' plot.Re: Visiting the dead
