We're back

The day went very well, lovely weather,warm sunshine and the
cemetery was really nice (clean, tidy and well kept) which made us
both feel better.

A few tears shed, a few words said and a lot of memories brought
back to us.

We both now have something more material to mourn and not just
thoughts which is all we have had until now.

My daughter did something similar last year Wally.

Over 30 years ago she had premature twin boys (30 week gestation) on
Christmas Eve.They lived for only 45 minutes.

She always said she would find their grave one day so last year she made all
the necessary enquiries and she and her husband met the cemetary
superintendant and he took them to the exact spot where they were buried.

They left some flowers at the spot and took photographs. It has been a
great comfort to them to know where their first-borns are laid to rest.

Emotional but necessary Wally 'cos now after all these years you can move to
the fifth and last stage of grieving. It's just a shame that you had to wait
so long.

Although this is all very sad and a great loss to us, we have reflected on
our lives and we are thankful for what we have been given.

We have a daughter and a son to be proud of and three lovely grandchildren
and can think of a lot of people a lot worse of than us.

Hope all you others have had a nice day.

I didn't know about this loss until now, Wally.
I'm sorry for whatever happened to bring you sorrow.
Grief is never easy. It's good to hear you are adjusting well.
It always helps to count our blessings.
It takes time to adjust to loss. Take care of yourselves.

PS-I just found the thread entitled "Tomorrow".
So now I understand the circumstances.
How very sad that was. Take care.
