but unless you are into that sort of thing why light up a head stone?No, sister. No one is asking you to leave. What I am saying is this: I am you. I understand very, very well what displaced anger is, I have done it (and then confessed it!) I know why the little boy’s grave close to mine is covered in toys and plaques and all sorts of things including two christmas trees and hanging plants. I know. We are supposed to protect our children. When they die, we have failed. That’s how it FEELS, not as it is. I know why you decorate the grave of someone whose life means as much to you as does your own. And I know what it feels like to walk around carrying this black, heavy stone with no end in sight. And I know that it can, and does, make a person angry and that anger can, and sometimes is, directed at others who are really innocent of wrongdoing or who have just used the wrong turn of phrase, or the wrong words, not knowing they did so. My heart to yours.Not a problem.

Just remember not everyone grieves the same as you do. Nor the same as Mount Carmel does.
To try to say they aren’t grieving or that they aren’t praying because they place flowers, toys and trinkets is, well, claiming to be able to see inside their hearts. To me that is incredible.
Did I say any of this? What I do know is that many claim not to believe in God or a hereafter - period.Not a problem.
