It really does. Did you last longer than a couple days?

Seems strange, at first, but we are emotional beings, so I guess it makes sense :) Working in a cemetery at 6 did teach me that graveyards are not the frightening places portrayed in movies. I travel a bit and when we can, we go to cemeteries and clean off tombstones.

Interesting factoid: US cemeteries are modeled after the 18th century landscape gardens of England. It was supposed to inspire people to spend their recreational time with family, but I think the sorrow of loss is way too powerful for people to bring their children for playtime at a loved one's grave.
