How long do people normally visit gravesites?

Just wanted to get some opinions. Is there some point at which it could be unhealthy? What about someone who has gone every week for the past 6 years?

Sounds like someone has a hard time moving on.

I live in a graveyard, so forever.

aaahahahaha

Once at the funeral. No point visiting an empty shell imo.

Same. I never saw the point.

I agree, but not everybody sees it that way. My sisters husband died about 18 months ago, she visits the cemetary once a week. I do understand to a point, after an abusive first husband and a series of loser boyfriends she finally finds a great guy and he dies suddenly 5 years into their marriage.

Havent been in years.

For me it depends on who I'm with. If I'm with a group of people I just want to pay my respects and go; however, if I'm by myself I often just stay for awhile, sit/stand, etc, thinking about life, sometimes talking things out.

That being said, other times I just pay my respects and go when I'm by myself too.

Is this person functioning well in the rest of their life? Holding a job? Has positive relationships with live people? Can go to a funny movie and laugh? Eating well, sleeping well? If so, I wouldn't worry about it.

I've got dat Jehovah's Witness apathy about death, so I don't even see the point in visiting someone's grave.

I don't vist as offen as I should. Once in awhile I bring flowers to my Grandparent's graves but the graveyard spooks me out so I don't go near it too offen.

I still tend my Grandparents graves and 3 of them died nearly 15 years ago...It's just the done thing in my family...We tend the graves of my Grandparents grandparents....Only takes a couple of hours a week...It's a mark of respect...Doesn't mean we still grieve over them.

I think it's nice to visit graves of loved ones.

Cremation would solve all this grave visiting.

Oh you are dark.

That way they'll live on inside you. Forever.

I've heard you can get corpses of loved ones turned in to diamonds and shit like that too. And, if advertising is honest (of course it is) diamonds last forever, so that's kinda sweet.
