The Silent Why: finding hope in grief and loss
Graveyard Musings: Tyne Cot & Ypres, Belgium
I've always loved graveyards, which led to me to create the Graveyard Musings episodes, and now they're back, only this time we've gone international.
Welcome to another My Why from me, Claire Sandys, co-host of The Silent Why podcast. My Why episodes are audio shorts of my blog posts. If you'd prefer to read it, you can find it here: thesilentwhy.com/post/graveyardmusingsbelgium
This episode contains the musings from my walk around Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium (the largest cemetery for Commonwealth forces in the world, for any war) and the beautiful Menin Gate in Ypres (one of four memorials to the missing in Belgian Flanders which cover the area known as the Ypres Salient).
Visit the blog link to see images and videos of our trip, including boarding the train to go through The Channel Tunnel, Menin Gate Last Post Ceremony, beer shops, marzipan shops, unexploded shells by the road, Tyne Cot Cemetery, and more: thesilentwhy.com/post/graveyardmusingsbelgium
This episode aims to give historical context from basic research from several sources, please forgive any inaccuracies.
