Did you know there are graveyards and cemeteries that were intentionally created as parks so visitors would feel comfortable sitting there for a while? Not all graveyards and cemeteries are creepy, scary places. Some are actually quite soothing and beautiful.

If you’re feeling blue today, try spending some time in your favorite graveyard. Graveyards and cemeteries are some of the few places where you can cry to your heart’s content, uninterrupted. No one will give you strange looks for weeping in a graveyard.

When you enter the graveyard, be sure to throw some coins to the spiritual gatekeeper who watches over the gates. When you leave, say thank you to the graveyard for taking your tears and soothing your heart. Take a different route back when you leave the graveyard so your sorrows won’t follow you home.
