Dont even know what to call this thread - post ashes?

[Donkeyshere]

Hi all so last night we put my MIL"s ashes on the beach as per her wishes, it was rather wet and windy and today is the opposite. There was no funeral at her request so this was our closure so to speak We went for a meal before me hubby, grandson and granddaughter and two great grandchildren. We took some flowers too, hubby did the ashes and put some flowers but left as soon as that was done which I totally understand, we left after 20 mins after a silent prayer as it was cold and wet. Up until this point I've been ok, making sure everyone else was OK but today it's just hit me a little like this reality. Feeling a little out of sorts. Might work from home tomorrow. Grief is a strange entity rhats for sure.

I read your post @Donkeyshere and then read your tag line. It made me smile because it's there for you and is perfect.
