Grave concern: Widow moves into husband's tomb

Jun 15, 2012 | Sapa-AFP | 7 comments

An Argentine widow was spending days in the tomb of her husband who died two years ago, having set up a bed, Internet access and even a small cooker next to his coffin.

 She had a radio, a computer, Internet, a chair and a small cooker 

"Police found Adriana Villareal had carried out some work in the tomb where her husband's coffin was. She had a radio, a computer, Internet, a chair and a small cooker," said local police commissioner Gustavo Braganza.

She even greeted policemen in her pajamas when they went to check out what was going on in the San Lazaro cemetery in northeastern Dos de Mayo.

"They could see the coffin and the embalmed body," he added, referring to the husband, Sergio Yede, who died in 2010 aged 28.

Villareal, 43, who lives in the capital Buenos Aires, told police she visited her husband "three times a year and stayed three or four nights there and cooked herself something."

"When you love someone, you do all sorts of things," she explained on the website www.misionesonline.net. "My husband deserved it and still does," she added.

"Someone who can sleep next to a corpse is probably not quite right," added Braganza.

morbid. But then there is nothing wrong with showing true love. Some people find it (understandably) far too difficult to let go. But there are no ghosts in cemeteries anyway, they are the most peacefully quiet places ever

She truly loved him and she's finding it hard to move on. We all have different ways of grieving. If she is not careful she will go nuts, if she isnt already.

"Someone who can sleep next to a corpse is probably not quite right," ....

It would certainly scare the "bejesus" out of me! But then again...Love can make you do the craziest of things!
