Ashes

What to do with my husband's Ashes? Not a question one ever wants to deal with.

It was relatively easy with Noel. He was Carlisle through and through, he had owned one home and lived practically next door to the crematorium. I remember walking around the cemetery with his mum and sister and we knew right away the area of woodland that was perfect for him.

With just family and close friends in attendance we scattered his ashes (and sprinkled some whisky) a few weeks after his death.

Back to Work

Three weeks before José died I took redundancy from my job of five years. The a charity was downsizing and redundancy gave us a chance to spend time together enjoying days out as well as getting to specialist appointments, researching activities José could get involved in and preparing for our house move. After my three months redundancy package expired we would be in our new home and I could (hopefully) find a job closer to home and with some flexibility as circumstances required.
