Why is sudden death so hard?
Anyone’s ability to cope with the sudden death of someone close is likely to be shaped by that life story. People who had poor relationships in the past (for example, an unloving childhood, or failed relationship) may find it difficult to cope when someone special dies suddenly with whom they had a good relationship.
What is unconventional grief?
Unconventional grief is when you grieve for a person who is still alive and will remain alive for several months or years to come. As social beings, we don’t connect with faces or physical attributes of a person. We connect with their personality, character, and their engagement.

Can more than one body be buried in a Catholic Cemetery?
Most Catholic cemeteries allow more than one body to rest in a single grave. Even if one is cremated and one is not, couples can be buried together. In western Oregon Catholic cemeteries, cremated remains of as many as three people can be added to a gravesite with non-cremated body, or four cremated bodies can be buried in a single plot.
Can an additional person be buried in a grave space?
If an additional individual is to be buried in a grave space, an additional rite of interment needs to be purchased. The process largely depends on who owns the original right of interment on the grave space, according to Serres.
Why are so many people not buried on time?
Issues such as money, logistics, and family disputes are often factors in the delay. Priests, too, are often busy and do not have time to follow up to see if “Uncle Joe” is ready for burial now. As such, many deceased remain unburied for weeks, months, or years, or perhaps never even buried at all.
Can You bury more than one person in a plot?
As with all aspects of the funeral and burial rites, the primary concern is not practicality or financial considerations, but the dignity befitting the human person. As cremation increases in popularity, more and more people are looking into burying more than one person in a single plot.
