[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 462675, member: 1233"] It sounds as though you are coping very well. I hope that everything works out well, and have faith that no matter what happens, you will do okay. As for your family being weird and laughing about yelling at husband's ashes, I don't think it is as weird as you do. I have known quite a few people who kept a loved ones' cremains and spoke to them. When I would deliver meals on wheels with my grandparents in the summer, several people "introduced" me to their dead spouses on the mantle/bookshelf. At least you are not going to put him in a ziplock in a file drawer. One of my great aunts' showed me her husband when I was about 12. No one believed me until years later when she let my mother "visit" him. Our comment was that we were amazed - she put him in a brand new ziplock bag - and she NEVER used new ziplocks. She bought a new box of them about once each year or two! I am glad you got to have a goodbye with your husband. I firmly believe that type of thing is real - have seen gandparents long after they died, and two of them I have never met while alive and there are no pics of them in the clothes I saw - but they were their everyday/work clothes. So even if others think you are nuts, I know you are not. [/QUOTE]
