Do you ever feel like your loved one will be physically present when you visit their grave

Thought I would share another poem I wrote with you. I wonder if you can identify with it.

 

 Meeting you

 

Date and time arranged
I'd meet you at the tree
eagerly waiting for the time
when your face I would see
everything would be fine
when I was with you again
hours of missing you over
I would be with you then

 

Arriving at tree T
I looked around for you
you were not there yet
I waited, anticipation grew
I stared at your gravestone
reality hitting my heart
you were not to be found there
we would always be apart

Learning how to have an invisible relationship, takes time, as all relationships take time in order to have. 

I wish you could be as alive as you once were. 

But today I will just trust you are there. 

I will talk to you and believe you are hearing me. 

And in time I will get to know you anew.

There has been times that I visited my Grandma's grave, that a breeze would pass by just as we walked up to her grave.  So I knew that breeze was my Grandma telling us Welcome, like she did when we stopped by her house.  DAMN!!!  I MISS MY GRANDMA SO MUCH :(

Movies about grief that actually understand loss — any recommendations?

Hi everyone  I’m new here and honestly never thought I’d need a space like this, but here I am. I’ve been living with grief for a while now, and some days it’s quiet, some days it hits out of nowhere.Lately I’ve been watching movies about loss and grief - not to make myself sad on purpose, but to feel understood. Sometimes seeing grief on screen helps when it’s hard to explain what’s going on inside. The problem is that many “grief movie lists” online feel very surface-level or overly dramatic,…See More
