It's good that lots of mysteries are coming out. Hope you can rest a bit more. Glad you are posting as we are all thinking of you. Bet Cat is loving the holiday.

Thanks SW

Cat is spoilt, didn't like being told she owes us for her portion of the holiday cost as she shut up 😹 She settled into the hotel room quicker than MILs home, probably as there's a lot less to explore. Depending on how she is when we get home, we're already talking about our next family holiday!  

Put a large towel over the radiator and it's kept a lot of the heat out the room. It's a more comfortable temperature.

I wouldn't have thought of blocking the heat with a towel but good call. Glad you are planning another holiday.

Cat is in shock now she will be on best behaviour,  you are sooo funny. Hope today goes well.

Thanks SH and SW

Everything worked out. I blubbered a lot, as did everyone, the wake was a celebration of life. 

I ventured down a road of discovery, have no questions left to ask and received loads of answers, even down to tiny details. I'm no longer half, but a happy whole person ❤️

Great result from what must have been a really difficult day.

Thank you SH

It was very hard. I think funerals are more about giving closure and a final goodbye for the living, that was achieved.

I am so glad that the celebration of life went well and you found the answers you were looking for. I hope it brings you some peace. X

Life, and I, make sense. It's a shame it took until mom died to get answers, but that's how it was always going to be. 

A side of me is tempted to scatter mom's ashes where dad was, so he had another chance of resolving things with her wherever they are; that would set her free in death. However, knowing my luck it would make things worse for both of them, as mom was not a forgiving woman and it would bring an eternity of hell to them instead 🙈

They both sit comfortably in my heart and thoughts.

I've carried a large weight on my shoulders, with emptiness, all my life and can begin the grieving process for both.

What a profound time in so many ways, sending you love and hugs, swx
