This is what happens @Palerider.
It`s as if there is no longer any need for the adrenaline you've been living off the past few months and in addition to being unable to visit your mum you`ve come down with a bump.
Give yourself time to wind down.
Lovely to hear that you have managed to laugh again.
I have 3 of their cook books that are well used. You could do a Keith Floyd impression as you cook
I find it all a bit strange, I kind of understand a lock of hair as I kept locks of my sons hair from when he was a baby (blonde and curly) I also have his baby teeth and I don't know why I kept them but maybe it was just a thing we did in those days. I don't expect that he will want them now he is all grown up. I need to get rid of some stuff.meh just thining -perhaps I should keep them until they come to me and ask, whcih I am sure in time they will
I think if it helps people move on I don't see anything wrong with it -each to their own hey. Anyway its all sorted out today and I won't have to keep anything myself, I've got onto the funeral directors and they are sorting the BILs request out directly with him -phew!I find it all a bit strange, I kind of understand a lock of hair as I kept locks of my sons hair from when he was a baby (blonde and curly) I also have his baby teeth and I don't know why I kept them but maybe it was just a thing we did in those days.

I don't really understand the making ashes into jewellery it seems a bit morbid to me but each to their own and if it makes them happy then why not. I confess that I asked for some of dads ashes to be kept back for me (just a handful) because I want to scatter them at sea because dad was a seaman. This is purely because I want to do it for dad but he won't know so really it is for my benefit, it is just something I want to do. I don't know when I will do it but I will and it will probably make me fill better.
Actually I know that dad would be all for it if I get the chance to scatter a little bit of him in the Caribbean.
Yes @Palerider I think you should just hang on to them until they ask.
