I’ll be keeping my house and won’t be moving a lot of my things, but leaving him here seems wrong ...
DEAR ABBY: After being widowed for several years, I’ve met someone. We are talking about my moving into his home. My problem is, what do I do with my husband’s ashes? I’ll be keeping my house and won’t be moving a lot of my things, but leaving him here seems wrong, and taking him along doesn’t seem right either.
At the time of his death, his children wanted nothing to do with his ashes. Because I haven’t heard from them since his passing, asking them again is out of the question. Any idea what I should do? -- RESPECTFUL IN MISSOURI DEAR RESPECTFUL: What did you plan to do with the cremains in the event of your own demise? Have your wishes changed now that you have met someone? Because you haven’t heard from your late husband’s children doesn’t mean you shouldn’t contact them one last time. Ask what, if anything, they would like you to do with their father’s ashes.
