I’ll inbox you 
I understand your pain as i feel my own. So many people say they understand but how can they if they are not where we are. Every day brings a new challenge but like me you will face them head on but it hurts. X

My daughter’s coming to Venice with me in a couple of weeks , then thinking of taking both kids on a road trip down through France to Nice & Monaco later in the summer .
I would make 100% sure the ashes will be in the tattoo if you go that route , as I looked into one and was told the ashes will sink to the bottom of the ink so may not make it into the skin , also if they do in most cases they come out in the healing process of the skin and so don’t end up actually in the tattoo , so make sure you get a tattooist that you trust not to rip you off !

How exciting! It’s really good that you are still getting out there and showing your children the world in spite of everything, go you 
Yes I’ve had a look online and it’s best to send the ashes off to be mixed properly, not sure yet if I’ll get one. Might get a ring made with ashes or both 
I had a double heart tattooed on my inner arm the week after Steve died. I’m thinking of adding his name underneath. Everyone I’ve spoken to has advised against it. I know why, they won’t say it but they are concerned it may put a future partner off. But would it? Steve will always be a part of me. Anyway, I don’t think anyone could love me as much as he did, so why would I want anyone else?

I personally wouldn’t put his name as I just don’t like it. A nice tattoo that only you no the meaning off would be nice. It may put someone else off. You never know what’s in store for you. You are still in the early days just now, try not to write of any future romances. Your right, no one will ever love you as much as Steve did because that was a special love between the two of you. You may find love again but it will be a different special kind of love and will never replace what you had together,.it will just be different
Life’s for living, enjoying and loving. In my opinion there’s no need to close any possibility off for new connections because we are still here, have needs and love to love and to be loved. Xx
Thank you @Katyh. I find it upsetting even to think of the future, let alone meeting another. Perhaps everyone is right on the tattoo subject.
