I spent a lot of time in cemetery's, finding gravestones for people who are unable to get there to find a relatives or friends grave before it is too late. Sometimes I was overwhelmed with [feelings] and had to leave. Finding a young child's grave was the worst. On warm sunny days it could be very peaceful.

This happens.... I was the caretaker of a small cemetery and over the years witnessed much grieving. A lot of sitting and caring and tears..... Over time the changes are a story each to it’s own, just like the story told here. Life will find a way to go on and in most cases, fondness and the love in the memories overcomes the grief. The path to healing often went from saying good bye to saying hello! The moments people share as their life continues and to say “I wish you were here, you would be so proud”. Life goes on... Thankfully!
