My step-dad is driving down from Northern California to pick me up so we can visit my mom. Of course I miss her greatly. The cemetery where she is buried is nice; very well landscaped and taken care of.

@77nick77 I’m sorry you lost your mom, but it’s nice that you and your step dad can go visit her grave. With Mother’s Day coming up soon, this must be a sad time for you.
I lost my dad over a decade ago and Father’s Day also makes me sad, but it also allows me to reflect and think of happier times.
I was at a grave just recently, well technically its three graves, No one told me before this year, but my late GF was pregnant with twins when she died, about 6 weeks in actually. Her mom said she wanted to wait for me to be more stable. I’m not sure how to handle this news, but oddly I don’t feel any more sadness about it than I do about her death in general at this point. Not sure if that’s healthy…but I would rather be numb than depressed…

I’m sorry about your dad moonbeam, you might have seen me post that I lost my dad about 8 years ago.
i’ve been wanting to visit my dad as well, i might go today, he was scattered in the garden of remembrance in july 2014, he was 56yrs old,
my gran has a nice grave in the same cemetery so i might visit her grave as well just to make sure it is nice, she was cremated too but she has a head stone,
sorry about your mum nick its good to visit her though, when i go to that place i kind of try talking to my dad even though he is not there, i wonder if he can hear me still and i guess as to how he would respond to what i have said, i like to believe that he is still listening in some way, helps me cope.

Thanks @77nick77 and sorry about your dad too.
Your mom will be proud of you @77nick77
It’s hard when parents are gone, but they are still here in spirit.
My dad passed away in 2013, I miss him too.

My mom died a few years ago. In my family we usually looked at death as the end of a painful struggle. I miss my mom, but she had alzheimer’s, and I am sure she is much happier where she is now.

I haven’t visited my mom’s grave since I moved about three years ago. I miss doing that. It’s pretty and quiet. I know she’s not there, but it’s where her body is, so it’s a point of focus and I used to talk with her and cry and pray… Your post makes me want to take a drive
