Some sad things I have seen in cemetaries ! Posey

  Author:  48809  Category:(Angels) Created:(8/5/2004 12:21:00 PM)

I have seen some very sad things happen in cemetary's, but there are some so sad that you don't really know how to handle them. I believe that all these sad things could have been prevented had those involved had a belief in eternal life! I was driving past a cemetary one day and saw a woman standing at the foot of a new grave with her hands over her face and crying very hard.This was in the winter , but she had no coat on. No doubt she was in such deep grief that she didn't even feel the cold.

Another time, my brother and I were in an old cemetary looking for gravestones of our ancestors when we came upon a newly made grave . This was apparently a male teenager who had either died or was perhaps killed in a car accident. There was no way to really know since the death was so recent that there was not yet a tombstone put up. Someone had left a can of beer and a pack of cigarettes on the grave and also a note that said , " I miss you Buddy!" We thought this must be a friend who left the beer, cigarettes and the note. Very sad.

Then one day my next door neighbor wanted me to take her to her husband's grave. As we were leaving we came upon another new grave that even had flowers around it yet. Sitting on top of this grave was a young girl who looked to be about 17 or 18 . She was sitting with her knees pulled up and her head on her knees and crying hysterically for someone that she loved. I feel so very sad when I see these things and would so like to help them... however so many do not understand that their loved ones have only departed from them temporarily and they will see them again. Have any of you seen similar things?

Date: 8/4/2004 12:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 62675    I have done similar things. It doesn't matter that I know I will see them again, I am still devestated. It is a good way to let some of the grief go. It breaks my hearts to see others do it too.  
Date: 8/4/2004 12:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 46527    When you're in pain you feel nothing of the outside world, I remember being there well.  
Date: 8/4/2004 12:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 62682    This post just breaks my heart. My heart really goes out to all of those who has lost a loved one.

Date: 8/4/2004 12:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 7952    I havn't really seen similar things to this, but do not look forward to the day i do - or the day that i feel it myself  
Date: 8/4/2004 12:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 62833    Ive seen nothing teribly heartwrenching but I have a story that I think is..well a bit morbid I guess youd call it. Anyways my best friends husband died in June, it wasnt the best of relationships at all but overall I guess she loved him and his death was so shocking and hard for her for other reasons, anyways at the funeral she was doins sooo well, too well I heard people saying things about how she was holding up too good, anyways after the funeral had ended at the cemetary there was a photographer there for what reason I dont really know even still but she had the photographer take pictures of her smiling in front of his casket. With the kids and all, I thought this was morbid and not a day I would want to remember at all much less in pictures. Am I wrong to think that was wrong?  
Date: 8/4/2004 1:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 62675    No I would think that was creepy too!!  
Date: 8/4/2004 1:53:00 PM  From Authorid: 28363    Life is sometimes cruel and harsh, and your story telling is always a favorite of mine.  
Date: 8/4/2004 2:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 17081    My wifes parent both died before I could meet them. My wife has buried pictures of our kids (whom they never met)in front of their marker.My friend/neighbor works at the cemetary and tells me stories like this.  
Date: 8/4/2004 2:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 3648    Tis sad....I think at the time we don't reach within and know we will someday be with our love ones again...Some just don't believe that way..I think we are so overcome by the death and shock of the passing we forget. I do believe I will someday see my love ones that have passed from this earth, but it doesn't make the pain any less....For days after my grandma died I went to her newly dug grave ..I guess I wasn't really ready to let go..with time the pain did become less. Now I go to her grave to talk to her....plant flowers etc...it's my time alone I guess....My heart goes out to others who have buried a loved one..

Date: 8/4/2004 2:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 60992    No I've never seen anything like that. I hate cemeraries. I don't kno why. But they just don't feel right to me.. I do understand tho that I will see them one day but somedays you can't help btu cry for them. We won't see them for a while. My friend died at an early age of 14 becuase she accidantly overdosed on pain killers. She then died in her sleep.. I cried lots but I kept strong for my friends. But it brings me comfort to kno that one day I will see them again!

Date: 8/4/2004 3:11:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    I know that probably not everyone feels better by knowing that there is life after death when they lose someone they love, but at least those who know this is a reality have hope ... just my opinion though!  
Date: 8/4/2004 3:16:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    Donno, thank you so much for your comment , I am glad you enjoy my stories ... all are always true!  
Date: 8/4/2004 3:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 24319    I've never seen things like this and I hope I never do. I'd start crying too.  
Date: 8/4/2004 3:23:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    62833, I agree with you . I wouldn't like this at all... it does seem bizarre at the least, I think.  
Date: 8/4/2004 3:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 33925    I have been in that position..When my Father died, when my grandparents died, When I lost a very dear friend, and when another friend lost her two little girls in a car accident. Grief is sometimes so deep that it takes a LOOONG time to come to grips with that grief.  
Date: 8/4/2004 4:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 62739    That is a very astute observation. Have you ever lost any one you "really" loved? Did you cry? Did some one see you? "Wow, that person must really be hurting. Excuse me please. May I be of some comfort to you?" Huggs ~Russel~  
Date: 8/4/2004 4:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 39350    awwww... that just made me really sad.:*(  
Date: 8/4/2004 4:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 19682    I never forgot the time while we were driving in the cemetery, there was a teenage girl sitting next to a grave with her knitting.

It was like she was with a loved one spending her afternoon.
  
Date: 8/4/2004 4:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 53909    I enjoy going to cemetaries, to look at the really old grave stones, but I too have seen some sad things there. One day, I was walking along and I came upon a friend's grave stone. I knew that he was in the hospital for quite some time but didn't know that he passed on. It was hard seeing his name and photo on his gravestone like that. When I was in Bosie Idaho to visit my uncle and grandpa's grave, I saw a woman kneeling down by a small gravestone weeping for she had lost her baby recently. Another day, I came upon my ex's friend's gravestone and on his stone it had a poem written for him about how he loved playing his drums. Before the gravestone, they had photos of his friend when he was young and up to the age that he died. There is anothing thing that upsets me is seeing a cemetary being trashed by stupid people...seeing beer bottles, cigeratee butts, broken stones and car tracks all over the grass.  
Date: 8/4/2004 5:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 8278    OMG! how very sad =( i go to the cemetary to visit my grandmother, and she is buried right next to a section called "babyland". i cant help but walk through it and pay my respects to all the little ones. i walk through and i see matchbox cars or dolls on the graves. it makes me cry even telling the story. God bless those parents. my son likes to come with me and always asks if we can stop into "babyland" because he wants to bring little gifts for the kids.  
Date: 8/4/2004 5:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 43592    Actually last weekend was my uncle's funeral. It was very sad. I do know he's goen to a better place but it still very sad. One can't help but cry and grieve. I was close to my uncle. We always played euchre with him. I will see him again but I still feel that empty feeling. There's nothing that can ever fill that hole. And that is very sad.  
Date: 8/4/2004 6:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 62246    Well, they may believe in eternal life, but it is still very sad to lose a loved one.  
Date: 8/4/2004 6:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 20750    Yes! I have been one of those grief stricken people you see at the grave!  
Date: 8/4/2004 6:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 36704    Even though you say that it's only temporarily, that still doesn't ease the pain. When you lose the person who means the most to you in life, even a temporary separation is too long.  
Date: 8/4/2004 7:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 62367    I have seen and experienced some of this. I doubt if it is a lack of belief in the hereafter than simply missing their loved one. When a loved one goes away for an extended period of time, we miss them terriblely. It is much worse when we lose someone and know that we will only see them in the next life. It takes time to adjust to what we know and believe to what we feel in our hearts. Even after 25 years, I leave dandelions on my father's grave.  
Date: 8/4/2004 7:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 62753    a few years back I was at very old grave yard, early 1800's perhaps, and there was a grave site for a family in small fence, inside was abput five or six graves , two parents , the rest children... the children died on the same day - i figure a house fire, or accident of some sort - most likily a fire though, the death date was late 1800's... so i just assumed. the oldest was a teenager, i remember that the parents died many many years later in the senior ages, but on the graves of the children , there were fresh new flowers placed, and so to this day someone still puts flowers there.... perhaps a ansestor, or someone..... It was very strange, but makes me wonder what killed them. Lizard-1  
Date: 8/4/2004 8:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 22308    yeah i've been to one of my best friend's friend's gravestone with her and the notes people wrote were so sad. i about broke down with her.  
Date: 8/4/2004 8:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 50678    Sad!!! So sad!! I often visit graveyards, I find them relaxing, that many sound weird, but they are, they are peaceful, but playful at the same time, I can feel the spirits of the departed and I know they are happy to see me. Even though a graveyard has sadness but it also has happiness, for the people that have died no have no pain, no suffering, no anything, they are at peace and that is why I'm at peace in a graveyard!! Blessed Be!!  
Date: 8/4/2004 8:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 53900    I lost my neices and nephews and my father, grandparents and numerous friends and no matter when it happens whether it is expected or not knowing we will be reunited is not a help til a little ways down the road. What I want is to have them here physically...knowing they will always be with me emotuionally and in my heart is just not the same. I cant talk to them or hug them or ever tell them all the things I think I should have told them before they died. There is always unfinished business words left unsaid no matter how often you tell a person they are loved you always wish you could have just one more day...one more hug...one more kiss...make just one more memory. That is what I think is so hard when you lose someone you love and all the wrds in the world just cannot take away that pain. You have to deal in your own way in your own time. To be honest even though I feel in my heart that my neices and nephews are in a better place and I am glad they didnt suffer to much when they died(at least I hope they didnt) going to their graves is still very very hard for me to do and I g about 4 or 5 times a year to put flowers on their graves and just to talk to them. But when I think of all they didnt experience in their short lives it just makes so very sad and the sadness brings the tears. They are an emotional outlet...by crying it somehow allows the release of the sadness at leaast for me. But you are right seeing the pain that someone is going through when they lose a loved one is one of the saddest things in the world for me. It puts a pain in my heart even if I didnt personally know the person who died simply because I have had to deal with it so many times and I know all to well how much it actually hurts.  
Date: 8/4/2004 8:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 62825    yeah death sucks, especially when it happens to cool people.
Date: 8/4/2004 9:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 53961    One scene that often comes to my mind; A few years ago I was traveling to Kansas City on I-29 and I noticed on the left of the north bound lane a van that had been in an acccident. It was just sitting uphill like it stopped at a tree. Someone had put a blanket over the front windows; I felt probably to hide any signs of the deaths of the occupants. Next to the van, in the snow, were three Christmas wreaths on seperate poles. I assumed that three people lost their lives. I felt that the van was left for several days to remind people to slow down and drive more careful, as it was still there several days later when I came backl through. Everytime I am by this area, I remember that scene.  
Date: 8/4/2004 10:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 53961    My son Michael was killed in a car accident in 1997. Every birthday since then I have driven 600 miles round trip to take him a new flag for his birthday on March 19. Just one way I cope with his loss. I cannot imagine a time when I will not be able to take my yearly "round trip".  
Date: 8/4/2004 10:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    I have felt this before, and losing someone is never easy, no matter what beliefs a person has. I remember all to well how much it hurt losing my grandmothers, and friends throughout the years. It still hurts to think about and I still cry. They aren't all sad tears though, because I also Thank God, that I was fortunate enough to know these people, and share time with them. Right after they passed on though, that thought was far from my mind, and all I could feel is the loss. Time heals things, its a way of life, but it will always be a heartbreaking thing to go through. *hugs*  
Date: 8/5/2004 1:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 39107    I know you dont know me Posey, but i would like to say on behalf of everyone here at usm, you are apart of this family, and we love you a great deal. *Big Hugs* from your USM son, Joshua aka  
Date: 8/5/2004 1:22:00 AM  From Authorid: 28638    wow, I've never noticed things that are going on and what people are doing at cemetaries. This post has definitly makes me want to pay attention more. This is definitly one of the saddest posts I've ever read. Thanks for sharing.  
Date: 8/5/2004 3:08:00 AM  From Authorid: 47242    We used to mow a cementary and yes you do see some sad things. Some people just go into a cementary and tear up the tomb stones,parking lot just for the fun of it.Then take flowers off of one grave and put them on another. One time we went to the cementary to mow,and we saw all the flags that was on the service men and women graves taken off and they where all put on this one grave.Wonder what people are really thinking of when they are doing this!

Date: 8/5/2004 4:39:00 AM  From Authorid: 19460    I have to say the saddest thing that I have experienced with a cemetary is this... OK my father in laws dad died when he was 23. My father in law was only 18 months old. When we had our second son, we decided to name him Charles Fredrick, same name as my dad in laws dad. Well when I was in labor my mom in law kept saying, "Gotta have that baby before midnight if you want him born on his G Grand daddy's b-day!" I didnt make the midnight dealine LOL He was born the next day. About 3 years later, we learned that G gRanddaddy and my Charles actually DID have the same b-day! Well, I never talked to my Charles alot about his name, except that he was named after his g grandpa. Mom in law took the kids to Indiana and stopped by the cemetary. My Charles was about to die when he saw "his" name and B-day on that tombstone of my g grand-daddy in law! When they come home from their trip, Charles broke down crying (he was 6) and said Momma why am I here but I'm dead? I was like WHAT?!?!? So I talked to him and figured out what he was talking about and explained to him that HE wasnt the one that was dead. He was real interested in knowing more about his g grand daddy and how he died and all (he was electrocuted at work and grabbed a man out of reflex, and both died). I'm glad my Charles understood though. I never thought a thing about him maybe getting upset about it, but I guess it would be a big shock to see your name and bday on a tombstone! My mom in law said it never crossed her mind either!  
Date: 8/5/2004 4:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 19460    62883- I know that taking pics of funerals is a creepy kinda thing, but some people dont think it is. Imagine my horror when I found a picture of my husbands grandpa (G Grandpa from my first reply) laying in his coffin, looking like the spitting image of my husband. Oh man! I bawled and bawled. It was so scary! I dont want to ever think of my husband laying in a coffin! I think I was truely traumatized! I wouldnt let Rog out of my sight there for awhile afterwards!  
Date: 8/5/2004 6:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 22992    Such emotions are provoked by the sadness of death... loved ones are missed terribly and only are brought back by memory. Good, thought provoking, and yet sad post  
Date: 8/5/2004 6:52:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    Russel, I am not sure that you were talking to me or not, but I will answer you anyway. Yes, I have lost many people in my family , all my grandparents, my parents, 2 sisters and a brother . I have lost my husband, many aunts and uncles and many nieces and nephews. I have lost many dear friends and also my in-laws and most all of my brother in laws and all but one sister in law. I have lost perhaps 2/3 of my family , so as you must know... death and I are very much acquainted with each other by now. Almost without exception I have heard back from all those who have passed on and I know they are still living. I have even lost another niece within the last 2 or 3 weeks and yes, I have heard from her too! This is what I meant when I said that I believe it is a comfort to those who understand that life is eternal... We all miss the physical presence of those that we have loved and lost and yes , I cried too when I lost someone that I especially loved.... like my parents and my husband even though I knew where they had gone.We are all human beings and become attached to those in our lives who are closest to us and are in our daily lives. Spirit always says that we should cry when someone is born into our dark world and we should celebrate when they return home again to the realms of Light! Thank you hon for your kind offer to help, I appreciate that... but I am truly fine ! I hope you are too!  
Date: 8/5/2004 7:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 27046    That's pretty sad! I like to go and look at the gravemarkers and figure out how old or young the person was when they died. The child ones really pull at my heartstrings. There are two graves that I have come across that I will never forget in my whole life and it was entire families. On one of them there was the name of the mother, father, and 3 kids. The fourth one on the head stone had a star in the place for it's birth and then the same death date as the rest of the family. I am assuming that this was either a fire or car accident where the whole family was taken and that last child must have been still in utero and pretty far along that it was a girl and had already been named. Another one is of 3 children and all of their pictures are on the gravestone (which makes it a lot harder to look at them) and all 3 of these kids (I believe the oldest was 10) died in a house fire. The parents survived it but lost all 3 of their kids in it. How one goes on after something like that is beyond me...:(  
Date: 8/5/2004 7:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 39957    That is sad.  
Date: 8/5/2004 8:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 51823    God, that is very sad..pose. Your post made me remember the last time that i saw my grandma alive..because the next time and last time i would see her is at her funeral. I felt so sad that my grandma didnt have the opportunity to say good bye or take care for she was very weak and couldnt talk when she was in the hospital. Infact it is going to be an year already this month. However, I know she is now in a better place. God bless!
Date: 8/5/2004 8:42:00 AM  From Authorid: 30747    Grief is a hard, helpless thing to see. I actually have a fascination with graveyards and have seen many momento's left by loved ones. It makes you stop and think about who these departed were. Stuffed animals, pictures, letters, knick knacks, etc. Some graves are so well maintained they look as if a gardener came in and planted a home for them. My sister's headstone has her picture on it. It was a photograph that was laminated in stone...very nice. That is a bitter/sweet thing to see. One time I went to visit her grave and notice someone has left a yellow rose (her favorite)and I asked everyone I thought would have left it if they had and no one did. Apparently she had a secret admirer. The saddest graves to me, by far, are the children. I lost 5 babies myself and two of them are burried in my home state here in NY, one in Georgia and two in Hawaii. It breaks my heart to see a childs grave and to know somewhere there is a grieving mother and father coping with these losses. So sad.  
Date: 8/5/2004 9:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 28193    One time, I saw a grave that had a can of pop, and some pieces of Starburst candy on it. I don't know why, but I thought it was really sad. People were trying to do things for that person in the grave.  
Date: 8/5/2004 10:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 27215    This is so sad to see this sort of thing. It really sets my blood to boiling to see a cemetary destroyed just because people didn't have anything else to do or to see a dear ones grave that the family memebers that are left here don't even think enough of them to put a flower on it. I know just how tight money is with everyone, but anyone can afford a single dollar to buy a small flower to put on their grave. It just breaks my heart. Great post and thanks for sharing it with us. Much love and prayers............  
Date: 8/5/2004 10:53:00 AM  From Authorid: 62176    Instead of beer and cigarettes and a note that says "I miss you buddy!" I would want a T.V. that works!  
Date: 8/5/2004 11:03:00 AM  From Authorid: 56063    I have seen people having lunch in front of the graves and they leave some food for their loved ones  
Date: 8/5/2004 12:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    Sad.. but I love cemetaries.  
Date: 8/5/2004 12:45:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    There is so much that we would all like to do to help those who are in deep grief and just barely hanging on to their sanity.... but there is only so much that we can do to help them. Grief is a necessity to the healing process and something we must all get through if we are once again to take our place in society and resume living. Every one of us will handle our great loss in our own way and some will grieve for different lengths of time and some seem never to accept what has happened to their loved one. I truly believe that the children who pass on at a very young age and even into their 20's and 30's are all special children and so are their beautiful and loving mother's and fathers who grieve so for their lost little ones. I believe that God has a special place for them all.... and I know you will all meet again. Thank you to all who replied to my post and I hope you will have only happiness and good health as long as you are here and on into eternity! God's blessings to you all!  
Date: 8/5/2004 12:54:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    Joshua, thank you so much for your comment , this is very sweet of you ! I have made many friends here and I enjoy each and everyone that I have met and that includes you too!  
Date: 8/5/2004 1:12:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    Yes Base, you are right that even a temporary separation is too long when we lose someone who means the world to us. When I lost my loved ones it would have been much more difficult to deal with their deaths though if I had not known that they were still living in the other world. Perhaps it is not so with others, since we are all different.  
Date: 8/5/2004 8:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 160    People deal in grief in many ways, when I lost my daughter I was unable to grieve due to family issues and it took a horrible toll on me later. People can see their loved ones again in the resurrection in the new system where death will be done away with forever. John 5: 28,29  
Date: 8/6/2004 5:00:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    PamyJo, I am sorry about the loss of your daughter ...is there anythimg worse than to lose a child I wonder? One of my sisters lost her only daughter on July 17th last month and was never a believer in life after death. I have talked to her about it and she has finally decided that there might be something to it... she is now reading everything she can about it and told me yesterday that she feels so much better to know her daughter is still alive. Whatever our beliefs are, one thing is certain hon... we will all be together again one day. Thank you for your comment.

I definetely beleive in eternal life but even so, it's still extremely sad beyond all words to describe how one feels when a loved one has left them during their earthly life. It's still extremely sad to know that you won't ever see them again while on earth.  
Date: 8/6/2004 3:43:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    Yes, it is extremely hard to lose a loved one Princess, and we will miss them always... but those who have developed their psychic abilities can still see their loved ones and hear them too. It is such a comfort to be able to do that. Many people have told me that they have seen their loved ones many times since they have passed on and they feel greatly comforted! Thank you for your comment!  
Date: 8/6/2004 7:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 54461    Yes, but to know your loved ones are with God is great.. or it could be them with Satan.. but if they believed in Jesus, they will be okay.

If there is something that we need to learn while we are here and we fail to do that, then we will have to learn it when we pass over. Thanks for your comment.  
Date: 8/7/2004 8:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 55841    Posey, I, too, have seen some of the things you mentioned. A friend of mine who lost both of her children in a house fire tells me that she has gone to their graves to find little "gifts" that only their friends could have left. I believe as you do that life is eternal and knowing that has changed my life. When I was younger, I feared death, but I have come to know that it is merely a transition between this part of my life and the next. It is that knowledge that has helped me through the loss of people I love very much and helped me to be at peace with the fact that I, too, will one day make that transition. As it is with most people when they lose someone they love very much, it was hard for me when my father passed, but with the easing of the initial grief came a certain peace for myself and joy for him that he passed the test of life and graduated to something much finer. I still miss his physical presence, but I no longer mourn his death. Instead, I choose to celebrate his life because I know he is still with me, guiding me and helping me to be the best person I can be.

Date: 8/10/2004 7:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 61901    For many people Death of this physical body is final, but for me it is only the beginning. I know the afterlife or Heaven,(whatever you want to call it) is as real as this earth we walk upon. There is only one difference, No postal service,phones or instant messenger. Unless of course, you are a medium. I know one day I will see my parents and family members there. Thanks for this post Posey, it made us all think. Peace and Blessings  
Date: 8/11/2004 8:13:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    Ranger, you are so welcome and you are absolutely right that the next world is as real as this one... and even more so. I have been there and seen some of it's wonders, so I too know it is a very real place! I am always pleased to post something that others enjoy reading and if it makes us all stop and think a bit ... then that is a decided plus hon! How nice to have you back again and thank you for your comment!  
Date: 8/15/2004 1:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 62793    Well...I stopped going to funerals when I was about 14...I had just been to too many of them and decided that I didn't want to have to deal with it anymore. That being said...I do visit cemetaries. I find them interesting. However, I have to say it was very eerie to see my last name on a tombstone recently. I don't have a common last name and every one of my family members who have died have had different last names. I recently went with my father to his hometown for the first time in 15 years. We went to visit his father's grave and I just couldn't get past the eeriness of seeing my last name on a tombstone.
Date: 8/15/2004 1:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 48250    I have seen many People at cemeteries, Broken Hearted, I am no Stranger to Despair, Grief it is true we all will see our loved ones again Someday in God's time..but Loss has no name, no face no time..Yet Only with Time can grief become Acceptance, with Acceptance Comes Peace and Even then, Time Itself will Never erase the Loss, the Emptiness, the Special Place that Loved One filled...Somehow You learn to deal with it, and Go On....My heart goes out to Any One and Every One who has Lost a Loved One...Thank You for sharing, Posey...T/C

I drove down to the cemetary last saturday where my husband is buried and there is my own name right along side of his. I do not worry about it at all though.... it is just part of life! Thank you for leaving your comment!  
Date: 8/16/2004 1:57:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 48809    You are right KB, it is so hard to give up one that we love and care for. We are so blessed though, that we will definitely be with them again someday. Thank you for your comment too KB!
