And flowers too of course?
I am so looking forward
to being able to place new plants and flowers on my parents place of rest.
Now I have something to ponder on, which plants?

We didn't make it to the cemetery at Christmas as its quite far.I do usually keep fresh flowers next to a photo on the fireplace. Planning a trip soon and taking daffodils .
Hi Sandradsn
It's difficult when you have to travel, I have the same problem.
I put flowers next to photos too, it's really comforting isn't it?

I also have a little rose bush in our garden that I've planted in remembrance.
That's lovely Hidden
I imagine you can walk there whenever you wish and I would certainly be
going there whenever I had worries, just to share them, it would comfort me.

we’ve moved away away from the crematorium so I don’t visit as often as I did. It’s kept beautifully always different plants & flowers so I know they’re well looked after.
My daughters ashes are still with me. Like many of you I keep photos candles & put flowers next to them on their special days.
Should add, the ashes are not on show that would be too weird & freak out visitors!!
It's difficult because we don't envisage moving at such times do we Caza but having your daughters ashes with you is a comfort, I would do the same.

No, I never thought I’d move out of London
They do bring me comfort which maybe to some that would be strange. I’ve never been ready to let them go. They’ll be mixed with mine & scattered in the sea when the time comes x
Not at all 🤔 I don't have anywhere to visit which immediately makes me feel glad I don't have something else to add to the to do list, or feel guilty if I can't do it. 🙈🤣 I suppose it might be nice to have a visitation spot but I tend to talk to whomever in missing wherever I am. My Dad didn't believe that time at a graveside was well spent, he often described funerals as being for the living only. Whenever I see tulips or old fashioned windmills I think of and say hello to my dear friend.
As so often it's down to what works for the individual. Somewhere to reflect, in whatever way helps, is definitely the best. I do most of my reflecting running up on the hills. 🌅
anytime just glad to point out about the forum to users who have suffered loss. shame it`s still a small forum as so many on these forums no doubt have suffered loss but I guess we all deal with it differently again so sorry for your losses god bless them both.
