Jayne, it was only his body that was buried in the grave. HE isn't suffering from his problems anymore. I'm not religious but I do believe that. I can understand how upset you must be, he must have had a dreadful life, just as his family did. Susan

Hi Susan, Thank you very much for your post and you're right it is only his body there. I'm going this weekend to try and find his grave so I can put some flowers on it. Jayne x

Morning Olde Crone, I will ask at the crematorium when I go this weekend to see if they have one. What a wonderful idea. Jayne x

Hi, I know how you feel. My grandmother was one of 12 children and some of them were alive when I was young. My grandma died before I was 1. Dad has lost contact with most of the family so I knew nothing about them. Looking at the dates now I assumed that the 12 were most likely dead, however I felt like I had been hit in the stomach when I accidently found her death on Ancestry. It was about a week later when I realised that I had been feeling depressed for a while and a few more days to realise that it was due to finding out my greataunt had died. You just need time to grieve even if you didn't know the person. I had only heard of my aunt I had never met her. The problem is others around you may not understand your feelings. Toni

Oh Ann, thank you very much for that. I've just printed it off and will put it and the front of my 'family history file'. That was really thoughtful of you and a lovely poem to keep. Jayne x
