Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

A Headstone Cemetary May Be Made To Accommodate Various Individuals And Circumstances

By Timothy Tree


Innumerable people have headstones at their graves. In order to know the relevant details of a person who is buried at a grave-site, people may view the Memorial Stone that accompanies a grave. Individuals who come to mourn the loss of a loved one are also likely to appreciate seeing a headstone near the grave.

People typically hope to live until they are elderly, since they know that death is an inevitable fact of life. Sometimes gravestones are chosen by elderly people before they die. In other cases, markers are selected by the people who are left behind. A grave marker may be selected by various relatives, including adult children and grandchildren.

Sometimes, people die unexpectedly. A woman in her 30s might experience an unexpected heart failure. Young parents could die in an automobile collision. As heartbreaking as such events can be, those who are grieving must still choose a gravestone that is appropriate.

When a wife or husband dies, the spouse who survives is generally left to plan the details of the burial and the memorial service. Finding a suitable gravestone may be comforting to a husband or a wife who is mourning. Numerous married individuals choose matching memorials for both people, especially when they want to be buried in adjoining graves.

Unfortunately, individuals sometimes die before they reach adulthood. When a young one dies, the people who survive may be dealing with a lot of grief and shock. A grave marker for a child can be shaped to look like a heart, and it might also have the figure of a cherub carved onto it. Another choice for the gravestone of a child is a carved teddy bear. Such memorials are often inscribed with meaningful words chosen by the parents.

Countless people opt to buy headstones for the graves of beloved pets. Stones shaped like hearts are popular options for memorials of this kind. The grave marker for a pet might be upright or flat, depending on which option the owner prefers. A headstone for a pet may display an image of a cat or dog carved into the stone.

Professionals can usually assist people in choosing suitable memorials, since such a task is not generally a pleasant one. People may browse a wide assortment of possibilities, whether they are shopping for themselves or for loved ones. It is important to find an appropriate memorial stone, since the grave-site at which it will be seen is likely to be visited for a long time.
