Even far from Ukraine's front lines, military funerals set off waves of mourning. 'You can't see an end to it,' one chaplain says as the war drags on.
The prospect of a nuclear-armed superpower falling into disarray terrified neighboring countries throughout Europe and put the White House on alert.
Eventually, the entire area will become a new memorial to Ukraine’s fallen, but the design cannot be finalized until after the war ends, said Lviv’s chief architect, Anton Kolomieitsev. For one thing, the dimensions of the still-growing burial ground are not yet known.Mourners at Lychakiv cemetery put flowers the color of Ukraine’s flag, yellow and blue, on the grave of Mykhailo Lazarev, who was killed in action.
Because so many people come here so frequently, the cemetery has become a gathering place of sorts, a wellspring of communal and individual grief. Mourners often get to know one another, first as nodding acquaintances and then friends, Yunik said.In the quiet morning and evening hours, people sit on benches between the rows with a coffee or a cola or a cigarette, occasionally placing a refreshment on the grave as if they and a dead loved one could enjoy it together.
As Anna stood over her husband’s grave, another cortege arrived at the cemetery. She turned to face the assembly below, bowing her head as a lone trumpeter played. By his reckoning, Hnypyuk has sung at about 300 funerals, including those of a friend and an older mentor. Because of sheer numbers involved, some services are held jointly.
Kyzyk, one of the 15 chaplains attached to the garrison church, knew that for the families of the dead servicemen, this day was the beginning of a long road. Military chaplains typically embark on months of work with the bereaved, offering comfort and counseling for adults and children.It is a long-term project.
