For me, His death is hard because I did what he wanted done if he was to die and that was scatter his ashes at sea. But I have always felt like I have no where to go.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi Tammy.....I still have my husbands ashes, I just haven't decided what to do with them. We never discussed it......he had Alzheimers and was not capable of making decisions. I spent 37 years with him...and don't think that I would remarry. Our kids were grown, so I didn't need a stepdaddy for them.... Coming up to his 1st anniversary on May 1st.......and feel guilty that we haven't decided. Don't feel that you have no where to go.....Every time you see open water....he is there......I'am glad that you found piece by visiting Long Beach today.tammy irish <tammyntod@...> wrote: Hi Virginia, It seems like alot of us here have lost our Husbands at one time or another.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi , Thank You. I am sorry about your Husband. May 1st is probably going to be really hard time for you and your family. I will say a pray for you. If you dont mind me asking, How long had your Husband have Alzheimers? My Aunt had the disease for about 15 years or so. Tammy I.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thank you Tammy, He had a stroke when he was 50, and it was downhill from there. He had been acting a little weird before the stroke...so it may have already been in the beginning stages....we will never know....He was really bad about going to the doctor for anything. From the time of the stroke till he passed away was 10 years. He was in a nursing home for 2 and a half years..... I know that it will be a very tough day....and it is a Monday to boot....my very busiest day at work....it may be a blessing...... Congratulations on moving your date up.....I was "done" on March 21st....(321 - Blast off to a new life) sort of corny.....but I think it is cute. Btammy irish <tammyntod@...> wrote: Hi , Thank You.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Tammy and Virginia. I've heard of a couple of interesting ideas for ashes. A friend died of ovarian cancer at age 50. Her partner bought a bird bath with a hollow pedastel, put Liz's ashes in the pedestal and put the bird bath in their beautiful garden. Liz was a big gardener. The bird bath (and thus, her ashes)was present at her memorial service, before going into the yard. My parents made the arrangements when my aunt died about 3 years ago. This was when my Dad was still clear most of the time. An old Navy man, he'd like to be buried at sea. However, married 58 years so far, he and Mom want to "go together". At the funeral home they found a "double" urn. It's shaped like a flying saucer/disk, holds ashes for 2, and though it's very pretty, it's water soluble. They agreed the one to go first goes in the urn and the other keeps it. When the other passes, we are to put those ashes in, then take them out to sea and let the urn go in the water. As the urn dissolves over time, the ashes mix together and they go off "into the sunset" forever. I think that is so cool. Very emotional when the time comes, but cool.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Dear Phyllis, Thank you for your thoughts. I wish I would have had time to discuss anything with Terry before he died, but I am sure what he told his friends about being scattered at his favorite hunting site is what he would have wanted. It will be 10 years in June and I still can't do it. I was so upset scattering my fathers ashes, and I hated him he was abusive, so I can't imagine scattering someone I loved so.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Phyllis, I have chills just reading that because they are such wonderful ways to be. For the birdbath, Just sit in the garden and shes there. She may be that bluebird singing away. And your mom and dads plan is great. They have been together so long that what they have planned is perfect. Your right though very emotional but perfect. Tammy I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi Tammy We all carry our own baggage....in one form or another....and we all have to work it out in our own way's....yes, food helps for awhile....like a drink helps some people. However it only lasts a short time...and then we have to deal with the problems that that brings .....whether food or drink.....Hee, hee....You are sooo right...we have to get it right wih ourselves....I need to keep that in mind. Thanks. I have lost 20 lbs so far, but no one has noticed....that's ok....I am doing this for me, and that's all....I have a lot to loose, so this is like a spit in the ocean.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Virginia, I can't really know what you're feeling about scattering Terry's ashes, but I can imagine it has to be the most difficult thing, that final letting go.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 no longer have a chat room, so yes, if you want to chat with others from this group you'd probably have to download messenger. Then you'd have to create a list of contacts and invite others to one-on-one chat or multiples to conference. There is the mIRC chat room which Casey occasionally posts information about, but I understand it isn't as active as it used to be when I discovered it in 2000. Like all things electronic, they have their peaks then sink into valleys. > Is the only way to chat by downloading Messenger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
