[quote=Anonymous]My young son died and is buried in a cemetery in Georgetown. For the first several months I went every day. If you can image how horrible it would be to go from providing every need for your sweet little boy and having him inhabit every moment of your day to suddenly having him ripped from your life believe me-the reality is much worse. After the first few months I might not have gone every day but any time my day took me anywhere close to where it would just be a turnin the road  to his grave I sometimes had to force nyself not to go. It was wretched to think I’d abandoned the only thing I could still do for him. For me and my DH as the weeks, months now years went on-visiting our son’s grave was a peaceful ritual where we could step outside of our lives and spend time thinking-no teally- almost being with him better describes it. It helped that the cemetery is beautiful and quiet and right here in the city. He’s been dead now longer than he was alive but for us- his grave is still a connection and a ritualized way to keep him ‘alive.’ I don’t feel guilty if I don’t visit now but I feel more whole if I do.[/quote]
