A Grave So Sad It Made Me Quit and Walk Away - Milan 🇮🇹

The italians don't go halfway with honoring their deceased. These are some of the most intricate graves I've ever seen. Thank you much for visiting these places for those of us who can't. I would love to see some of these places but not sure if I'll ever have the funds to make it over seas.

Just think about it! Every parent who loses a child fears that the child will be forgotten. You will likely never forget the monument with the baby popping out of the headstone. The parents made sure of that! It was a brilliant way of insuring the child would live on in the minds of so many.

I worked as a gardener / groundskeeper in a 40 acre cemetery for 11 years and loved every minute of it. People always asked me if I was afraid to work there. I always told them that it wasn’t the dead you needed to be afraid of, it was the living. I could wander around in this cemetery for hours! It seems so peaceful and beautiful. We did not have standing monuments, all of ours were flat for ease of mowing. I love these types of graves and monuments.

As a funeral Celebrant, one saying which never leaves me is "To the depths in which we love, shall be the depths to which we grieve." Each grave is a story, a memory, a life-unchanged by time or history. Left for each of us to interpret in our own way and left for the loved-ones as a way to express their sorrow.

The astonishing grave of the baby girl belongs to Amelia Clerici Bagozzi 1902-1904 There is an inscription underneath which really shows the deepest desperation of her parents. My Italian is only average but I think it says: “The parents pray, seeking relief for their afflicted souls, placing them in perpetual memory of their beloved little angel” I do see why you have difficulty with the children’s graves. It is very striking and deeply affecting. You make excellent videos. Grazie.

I always think of it as visiting the lonely. Whenever I go to a cemetery I focus on the peacefulness of it, the connection I feel to those who came before us and helped give us all the things we cherish today, and how no matter how hard/easy their lives were, at least now they are resting together. I like to visit so that they are not forgotten and I tell myself that I am a guest coming over to take away some of their tedium. The truly sad ones are the neglected ones in run down and possibly singular settings.

I've seen a number of those porcelain picture medallions on grave stones, they still make those but the modern ones are applied with adhesive which will fail and can be pried off, the old ones Ive seen were actually embedded into a recess cut into the stone, so they dont fall off, and are basically pry-proof. The ones Ive seen were in B&W and I think were between the 1870s and 1920s, and they really give you a look at the person as they once appeared!

[@RuthShelton-ou4id]

I think the baby as braking out of the grave and going up to heaven. I think that's what it's meant to represent. There's a grave of a little maybe 10 yr old boy -- how they made it I don't know. You see the wheel chair and a little boy looks so happy as he's leaving his chair while reaching up with his arms to the sky. It's meant to show that he's free -- free of pains & sickness and like he's being brought to heaven where he can run & play --and be very loved. He was finally not in pain anymore People leave toys as gifts. That child's parent's loved their sick child very much & set up a fund & foundation that would help parents pay for their sick children. So when I saw the little baby reaching upwards out of his or her tomb maybe it's supposed to show the same as the boy in the wheelchair. It's just another sick child who suffered & died body wise but the child's soul was now free and Jesus would gently hold that child and love and make that child we'll again.. Anyway, that's my take on it
