When it came to scattering Jane's ashes, it didn't think that it would be a problem for me, so last Thursday I made my way to North Devon towards a little cove near Woolacombe. Jane wanted her ashes scattered in Barricombe Bay, or 'The Shell Beach as we called it due to the millions of tiny shells that made up the for the lack of sand. We loved this place and had some fantastic family holidays here.
I took her out of my rucksack and we spoke for a long while. Then I scattered her on the shells. It was one of the hardest and most emotional things I have ever done.
You can see the bay above. I visited her every day through to the Sunday. Now it will be even more special.
I can imagine how hard it must have been for you ~ but that will be a very special place for you to visit ~ and to remember all the happy memories you have ~ they will be with you forever ~ Ally
ReplyDeleteAs Ally said that must of been the hardest thing you have ever done but the happy memories will last for ever
ReplyDeleteim so sorry martin,she lives on still in your heart,and in her blog.and in her friends minds and hearts. she was one of a kind. i wish you peace.mort
ReplyDeletethat must have been so difficult, but so freeing as well - to know that she's there every time you visit. while minor in comparison, my family will be taking our dog's ashes this weekend to the forest where she loved to walk with us and chase deer & squirrels, so we can leave them on the forest floor so Echo will always be there with us on our walks.
ReplyDeletehugs & best wishes to you and the family from across the pond
