07 July 2008

I spread Lacey's ashes this weekend. I didn't expect it to be so difficult.[More:]

We went to the beach in Homer. I wish the tide had been out, that the wind had been in a different direction. Oddly, I wish my ex had been there. Once the wind and waves took her ashes away and I cried and cried for losing her, I drove to the cemetery and placed flowers on my sister's grave. I don't know if I believe in this sort of thing, but it's nice to think about the two of them playing and looking after each other in heaven.
rhapsodie, I know this is a very sad time for you. Hang in there and keep thinking good thoughts. ((((hugs))))

Awww. That's so very very sad. I'm sorry. Be sure to hug Olive extra tight tonight.

Olive was a trooper on the beach, despite trying to eat every scrap of squishy seaweed she could find.

*hug*

I know that had to be hard.

For what it's worth, I do believe they are enjoying each other in heaven, or whatever lies beyond this life. I am so sorry for your pain.

God. I've lost so much in the past year, I really feel for you. Big hugs for getting through this.

Big hugs to you, rhapsodie.

I'm sorry rhapsodie, that must be so hard. FWIW, I think your sister and Lacey are sprawled out on the biggest softest couch there is, with steaks and chocolate galore!

I still have Moondog's and Sundance's ashes. I just don't know what to do with them, and can't think of anything appropriate. I still get teary eyed when I think of them and look at their pictures, then Silver and Saffron come and lick my face. That's great you have Olive to take care of you!

And, I don't think it's odd at all to think that way of your sister and Lacey. I only have on request when I die, and that's when I get cremated, they have a ball in there with me. That way when I see my old pooches on the other side I'll have something to toss for them. (Though, knowing Sundance, he got all the toys figured out the first day he was there.)
