I think that if you really want your T to come with you to visit the grave that that is NOT an unreasonable request. I know that with my T, he works outside the box...and I have been to the grocery store with him, I have been to the mall with him and to get my hair done (all therapeutic activites..) we didnt just go just to hang out with each other..it all dealt with issues I was having...BUT, my point is, if you are dealing with these issues in therapy, and you need his/her support while visiting, I say go for it and ask. All he/she can do is say no. Your T could make your visit even more powerful.
I know that my T went to a funeral for one of his other patients..and he accompanied me when I went to rehab...
they will do things outside of the office. You just have to ask.
Goodluck!! :)
