Visiting buried loved ones, Laying them to rest, Grieving together

Visiting the grave of a loved one can be very therapeutic. It’s a way to say goodbye, to heal, and to remember. It is a common misconception that the grieving process is linear and predictable. In reality, it is an ongoing process that can be different for every person and situation. For some people, visiting their loved ones’ grave-sites provides comfort. They are able to talk to their loved ones and tell them how they are feeling and what they have been up to. For others, it can be an emotional experience that leads to more grief than when they visited in the past. Some people find visiting the grave-site of their lost loved ones to be a cathartic experience. They are able to release the pain they have been holding onto and find some peace in knowing that their loved one is at peace.
