what does 'someone is walking on your grave' mean?
920413
To a Reincarnationist it means someone is walking over the grave of one of your past bodies. To everyone else it means someone walks over the place where your body will be buried. I've heard the phrase in connection with getting a chill for no apparent reason: "Brrr... someone must have walked over my grave just then."

Ghosts are as real as we are, but they don't hang around in cemeteries. The energy felt in graveyards is only the residue of grief or fear or dread left behind by the living.

It could mean that the person is having emotional difficulties and is lacking the ability to express themselves in a civilized manner. Also...you should probably run and get out of their way!!

It does mean something like: "The only truth is the finality of death" or "True annihilation lies in Death".\n\nIt is also a phrase used in a type of Heavy Metal music, called "Death Metal", characterized by deep growls, loud bass, and screams.

One might say 'I’d rather remember the person as they were, when ['while' would be a better word !] they were alive', as a comment on embalming !\nIncidentally, this sentence can be interpreted in both affirmative and negative senses :\nOn one hand it can mean that embalming a person's body will keep it looking very much like when they were alive. And that the person who said this feels that it might prove an effective reminder.\nAnd on the other hand, it can also be interpreted as an admonition by the speaker, that he would rather keep the dead person's memories alive in his mind, and that he disapproves of any such embalming that only helps to keep the lifeless, soul-less body intact !\nPerhaps, that why someone found this sentence wrong - and wanted it to convey one meaning or the other, and certainly NOT BOTH !

it means what it says, literally.  would you want one of your friends dying from working too hard?  no!  stress has been caused to many deaths, seriously.  working hard is not a problem, but too hard is not OK

Death of a person should be a joyous occasion because hopefully the person is going to a better live.  Being in the presence of God.  We cry because we'll miss the person and have great memories of them.  Funerals are homegoing celebrations.

it means leave things as they are, so they don't get worse.\n\ne.g. you need a train ticket, but you don't have ID. The guy gets distracted and starts making out your ticket anyway. So if you were silly, you'd say "oh you're giving me my ticket even though I don't have my ID! thanks" - and that's when the ticket-guy realises his mistake and puts the ticket away and say "oh yes, sorry, I still need ID i can't give you that ticket". So now - if you had just kept your mouth shut, you'd have had your ticket and moved on with your life.\n\nSo - let sleeping dogs lie. Don't wake 'em - otherwise they might start barking or biting...best leave them where they are, as they are, and it's allll good.

They'll have an alphabetic directory listing all of the people buried there, and in the directory, by the name there will be a code - usually a letter and some numbers - that tells them what section this person is in.  Then they can show you on their map exactly where that code tells them this person is buried.

Latin would not express the meaning with words for "occasion" and "death" in the way that English does.\n\nThe phrase really means "When I will have died..."  "After I have passed away..." \n\nThis can be translated by "Ubi mortuus ero.."  "Ubi decessero.."

The speaker is lamenting having done something or considering something that will rob him/her of the joys of old age. These joys include honor, love, obedience, multitudes of friends. Instead, he/she will receive silent curses from people for a long time, honor spoken falsely from others, and another day of living, which many people would be pleased to have in itself. At the same time, people feeling so depressed, such as the speaker, might be happy and simultaneously unhappy for living another day.

Flirtacious.\n\nIt's a Get Your Knickers Off poem.\n\nHe wants to sleep with her, and tells her all the reasons why she should give in - ending with " the grave's a fine and private place// but none i think do there embrace"\n\nIt's a Seize the Day thing - let's do it now, we're a long time dead.\n\n\n\nWow, it says a lot about the standards of education if mine is the only answer after four days.\n\nDoes this help? Can tell you much more if you want

It is one of those sayings whose exact origins is unknown, it obviously refers to things kept secret or hidden. In the past it may actually have had something to do with someone who had died under mysterious circumstances. It was brought into literary use by Thackeray in 1845.

I'm not sure of where Humble is. Our family is from a very small town in the Hill Country. Mom-in-law has shown us lots of different grave sites outside the traditional cemetery. Some are her distant relatives. She says that long ago, before the traditional cemetery's, people would bury their deceased family members on their property. Are the headstones legible? Take a piece of paper, place it flat over the headstone and rub a crayon or pencil over it. If the name is legible, take it to city hall or chamber of commerce, they may be able to trace the property owners. Even if you cannot read the headstones, you should report this to the authorities. Someone out there may be wondering where some family is buried. Also they used to bury people who died while traveling. We have one headstone there and all it says on it is "MEXICAN", no name at all. Do the right thing, and let someone know about your find.

In that one minute, you are supposed to honor the deceased.  Some people sit in quiet reflection, others pray.  It's just a way of honoring and remembering the person who passed.  Similar to ringing church bells at a funeral or lighting candles at a vigil.
