How do I stop crying at the graveside?

Coping with bereavement
1

I lost my Mum over 10 weeks ago and it still feels unbelievable. We interred her ashes in our local churchyard as its lovely up there and close to the family home. Dad wanted a place where he could visit and talk to her, so its nice and close to him. I went with Dad last week to commission a stone mason for her headstone and it will be about 4 weeks or so before its laid.

I go up when I go for a walk - at least once a week, but I can’t visit without bursting into tears every time I go up. Does that ever stop?

Yes it will eventually, I was the same when my mum died and I’m like that again when visiting my partner’s grave. I lost him suddenly five months ago. I was the same when choosing a gravestone for my partner, it was very upsetting.

I’m so sorry. This hurts so much doesn’t it?
