Why it worked

The video evokes a strong emotional response by sharing a poignant story of a mother's love and grief, presented in a visually striking and somber setting.

Summary

The video shows a tomb with a statue of an angel and then a person descending into the tomb. The on-screen text explains that the tomb belongs to a daughter who passed away and was afraid of thunderstorms, so a staircase was built for the mother to sit with her during storms.

Original caption

Florence Irene Ford died of yellow fever in 1871 at 10 years old. She had been afraid of rain storms, so her mother, Ellen, had stairs built leading down to her grave to go sit with her whenever a storm came through. A moms love never stops ❤️‍🩹 #gravestone #gravetok #cemeterytok #cemeteryexploring
