It’s a profound, honest, and very human question.
If we believe the soul no longer dwells in that place… why do we continue to visit graves?
Why do we bring flowers, remain silent, speak in hushed tones, or even weep before a stone?
The answer isn’t simple, because it’s not about the departed soul, but about the living who remain.
1. Because the body was part of a sacred story
Even though the soul is no longer there, the body resting in the grave was the home of a life.
