I had a mixture of feelings.
I coped better than I thought I would bringing him home.
Then I went through a period of finding it very upsetting.
Now, I have been known to put my arms around the casket and tell him
how much I love him.
I can, of course, still be very tearful when seeing the casket
I had to give myself time.
Sending you a very big hug xx

I found it extremely difficult collecting Andy afterwards. Such a big man in such a small box, that really broke me!!! One of our closest friends is the funeral director and I don’t think I could’ve got through without her. Now he’s home though, I find it a comfort knowing he’s sitting with me in the evenings xx

Hello ginger 78
I reply to your post and to every one else on this
Terrible topic.
I had my Sam’s ashes returned to me by the funeral director.
As you said my great big ex police officer so strong and commanding returning to our home
In a small wooden box.
It broke my heart.
I have candles lit around him they are wax candles so quite safe and so lovely they are on
24/7.
Joking last year when we did talk about what we wanted he said put me on the mantle piece
at least I will be back in my home.
I never ever ever thought I would actually do it.
I don’t believe he thought it either.
I can’t believe he is gone and never coming
Back.
We have all our beloved dogs ashes here with us
together with their collars and special favourite
toys.
So we are all here just not how I want it.
He was very loving and sentimental and however he coped with his job was not how
he was at home
I just thank god he doesn’t have to cope with
this as he even said to me I couldn’t cope with out you.
My thoughts are with you my friends.
Sending much love and comfort.
Doreen xx
