It was two years before I felt up to dealing with taking mum back to spread her ashes in Hampshire, and even then it wasn't easy. Don't be too hard on yourself.

We spread my father's ashes along the rail line where he spent many hours as a child watching trains, his real passion, and we spread my mother's ashes along the riverbank of her childhood farm. It's a very restorative process. As all the rest have said, listen to your body and have a nap.

Do be kind to yourself, I found there were surprising jolts; the day I felt wonderful, then plummeted, probably because I'd been so pleased and thought I was over the hump.... well the hump whacked me! What a fitting place to lay the Farmer to rest, part of the land he loved so dearly. Thinking of you. Hugs.

I know when my parents passed away I was on 'auto pilot' through all the arrangements but afterwards it almost felt like a very weary anti climax for a while. As justjill wrote, listen to your body. Give it some time to recover between enjoying the company of friends and a bit of good weather.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.com
