I almost never do. I have visited my mother's gravesite only once since she passed away 10 years ago.

My brother. Monthly. Just to bullshite with him. Bring him stuff that reminds me of him. Other ones not as often. Maybe once a year.
Some I haven't been back since I buried them

no...my beautiful mother always sad she thought it was kind of a silly thing to do. she said that you were just visiting a soulless carcass. i went to my sister's grave once when i was down thinking it might help, but it really didn't so i've adhered to my mother's belief since then and not visited any family or friend gravesites.

I grew up visiting my grandparents. My dad still goes 6 or 7 times a year. I like it. Makes me feel closer to them.

I do. Once a year to clean up the plots.

Once every couple of years. My parents are still alive so once they die I will go more often than that. I usually go when I go to my old hometown for Christmas.

I do not. My mom died back in 2011 and I have been to her grave maybe twice.. and that was with my grandparents because they wanted me to go. I just don't get anything from it.. It's awkward to me, going visit someone that's dead. They can't hear anything you say, they're dead and there's no afterlife so there's just no point to me. If I want to thinkg about my mom I can do that anytime, I don't need to visit her grave.

Not really. I did visit Jimi Hendrix's grave once.

I've gone maybe twice to my brother's. I guess I've always felt like if I needed to "talk" to him I could just as well do it without visiting his grave. I much rather remember him by doing things and going places we used to do and go when he was alive.

I don't see the point. You are talking to either a cement wall with a coffin/body in it, or you are talking to the ground with a coffin/body buried in it. It's not the person you once knew or loved. You have just as much luck talking to them in your room, your car, or whatever.

Never done that. It makes sense that it helps some people through the grieving process. I've just never felt the need to. The memories are enough for me.

Yes. The majority of my family is buried in a cemetery less than a mile from my house. It's too convenient not to visit
Posted on 7/26/16 at 4:25 pm to CatsGoneWild
