Dreading this Wednesday

We scattered my lovely dad's ashes a year ago, at a place that was special to him and our late mum. I knew I would find it difficult and upsetting - I did - but was helped by having my children and siblings with me. We said goodbye and watched until the ashes were out of sight (on the sea). We then spent the rest of the day together, sharing memories which helped enormously. Just because her ashes are gone doesn't mean you can't still talk to your mum - my mum's been gone for 14 years now but I still miss her, especially in times of stress, and 'talk' to her often.

I hope Wednesday goes as well as it can and that you have people you love with you, to share memories of good times with your mum.

Thank you for your kind words. I say good night to her and Barney (her wonderful little spaniel who died the day mum was diagnosed) every day. My dad will be with me on Wednesday
