Walter,
The opening to your sentence is clear and gramatically correct. It is a very literary style.

Walter -
While the beginning of the sentence is ok, the rest of it doesn't flow well. How about considering:
"Jeebleh feels it is time to build a proper grave for his long-deceased mother, and include her story in the broader national context."
If this is what you intended to communicate.
Shaila.
