What do you feel like in the churchyard where your partner is? Do you feel it is a comfort to tend to a place and meet others in the same boat?
Yesterday I went to tidy up after the very strong wind had blown everything about.
All the bits people had put there had been tossed all over and I found a polystyrene teddy wedged amongst the half dead daffodils growing on my husband’s grave.
No idea where it came from so just took it off. No good leaving it around. I collected up all the debris and simplified it.
I still have my baby’s grave to sort but it was starting to rain so didn’t stay although there was a man sitting on the seat who spoke. I had thought of sitting but the weather changed. I noticed the bluebells are coming out after the snowdrops, primroses and daffodils. There were lambs in the field next to it but I hated thinking about their young lives cut short for Sunday lunch. So I ate veg instead for lunch.
