Cemetery regrets

My daughter was stillborn two years ago.

We decided to bury her in our local cemetery.

I didn't realise at the time that in the children's part of the cemetery, the graves are in rows of three, rather than two (head to head) as there are for adults. In the last year, the third down has been started, so there is another burial at the head and foot of my daughter.

I find this so hard to deal with because I can no longer sit next to my daughters grave.

I am starting to accept the loss of my daughter but just can't get over than I can't even easily get to her to put flowers on the grave, let alone sit with her.

I have emailed the cemetery this evening to suggest they rethink this policy for the future, but it's too late for me to do anything about my daughter now

This must be very hard to cope with. I hope the cemetery have a re think. Sending you sincere condolences and courage for the future.
