  16. For a long time I stayed away from graveyards. But they do have some very interesting history. It isn’t written yet but maybe when I get those flowers to the ‘family plot’ I’ll add the link here.

  17. Since I was a little girl, I’ve always found cemeteries to be fascinating…I like to read the headstones and think about the person (whether I knew them or not) and what their life might have been like. I, also, read their name aloud and say, “You mattered. You are not forgotten.” I find this to be very peaceful and I hope it is honoring.

    PS…the oldest cemetery I’ve visited the headstones dated back to the mid-1800’s.

    • Don’t know that book Marie but I did hospice work for years and death is such an important part of our life cycle that we do need to read and acquaint ourselves with it in order to live more fully ❤

      • You could write your own book on the topic Kate with your experience! The book, in 2002, was by Thich Nhat Hanh. I also got a lot from On Death and Dying by Elizabeth Kubler Ross and an all round book Life Lessons again by E K R with David Kessler. Not a subject people are comfortable talking about but it is important to listen not being tempted to brush their concerns under the carpet. X
