[Granny Bear]

Everyone grieves in their own unique way. How one grieves isn't up for discussion of right or wrong, IMO.

The way I understand the article, is that she did this so her son, older brother to the baby who died, wouldn't object as much to visiting the grave. He loves his sand box at home, so she added this one for him to "play with his brother". The psychologist mentioned in the article thinks that's "healthy".

I would hope that she doesn't become obsessed with visiting the grave with her living son. Even though I don't believe that I have the right to judge her grief process, I've seen a lot of parents whose lives have essentially ended from the loss of a child.

I will also tell you this, if I lost a child or a grand child, I don't think I would care if my life ended or not, to be honest. Burying a parent is pretty much expected and difficult enough; burying a child or grand child is just not natural.

I hope this woman and little boy find peace.
