My darling. I can say, with complete honesty, that bringing my husbands ashes home was the outpouring of grief, to feel i had him back. Its highly emotional, but for me, it gave a sense of peace to ‘collect him’ from the funeral parlour. I popped his favourite hat on top of the box containing his ashes and chauffeured him home listening to one of his favourite CD’s in my car. It bought me so much peace. Thats all I can say really. We all need to do it in our own way, but his ashes in out front room, bring me comfort and i hope that you will feel the same my darling xx

Hi Annalisa
Sorry to take so long to reply. Sleep brought oblivion for a while and then my 2 lovely kids have helped ring people today.
We’ve been discussing what he would have wanted and have manage d to make some decisions.
My Rich was really into model railways and our small bedroom had become his modelling and train layout room. That is where we’re going to have his ashes , near to all his favourite things
Thanks you for helping me through this xx

Hey lovely, we are all helping each other in this amazing group. What an amazing thing to do, scatter his ashes near all his favourite things. I think its quite brave too. I cant bear to part with my Micks ashes, they are in my front room. Just a few of them have been sprinkled at his favourite swim where he used to live to fish. The rest im simply not ready to part with. Perhaps one day, i will. But he loved to be at home with me and because he was in hospital for 3 months before he passed in my arms, collecting his ashes was so difficult but bringing him home was the first and only comfort. He is where he wanted to be. You are doing amazing xx
