Another participant mentioned the loneliness experienced following the burial of a loved one:
“...We walked to the church; kind neighbours lined the route but only the immediate family were allowed into the graveyard. The gate was closed. We were not permitted to carry the coffin. The priest quickly said a few prayers. It was over in a matter of minutes. Almost no one spoke to us as we walked home in shock.”
