Many mourners leave pebbles, stones, and other small rocks on graves, with many believing they keep souls from leaving the burial site before receiving their final judgment. For others, leaving a small pebble or stone on top of the gravestone is just a sign of respect and lets family members know someone visited during their absence.

A grief poem by Rudyard Kipling we thought may be helpful today --

For a season there must be pain -
For a little, little space
I shall lose the sight of her face,
Take back the old life again
While She is at rest in the place.
For a season this pain must endure,
For a little, little while
I shall sigh more often than smile
Till Time shall work me a cure,
And the pitiful days beguile.
For that season we must be apart,
For a little length of years,
Till my life's last hour nears,
And, above the beat of my heart,
I hear Her voice in my ears.
But I shall not understand -
Being set on some later love,
Shall not know her for whom I strove,
Till she reach me forth her hand,
Saying, "Who but I have the right?"
And out of a troubled night
Shall draw me safe to the land.
